90.72

Sealed in silence (緘嘿: [緘 is] pronounced 甲 [jiǎ] + 咸 [xián] fanqie. Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents says: '緘 means closed.' The Shuowen says: 'To tie up a hamper.' It takes 糸 as semantic classifier and 咸 as phonetic. The second character is pronounced 瞢 [méng] + 北 [běi] fanqie; silent and making no sound. It is also written with 犬 as 默, identically).
