Hesitating (踟蹰: the first character is pronounced 雉 [zhì] + 知 [zhī] fanqie; the second is pronounced 住 [zhù] + 誅 [zhū] fanqie. The Kaosheng says: '踟蹰 is like pacing back and forth.' The Guangya writes it as 躊躇, with 躊 pronounced 長 [cháng] + 流 [liú] fanqie and 躇 pronounced 除 [chú], meaning indecisive. The Gujin zhengzi states: 'Both characters take 足 as semantic classifier, with 知 and 厨 respectively as phonetics').
