𰐤孛 [Comet] (The first character has the fanqie xuán + ruì. The *Ziyuan* states: "A broom star [comet]." The *Lüshi chunqiu* states: "A broom star is an ominous star." The *Shuowen* states: "A broom star is for sweeping; it is formed from [the hand radical] 又 holding 甡; it is a pictographic character." 甡 is pronounced like 銑. The second character has the fanqie pén + mò. He [Xiu]'s commentary on the *Gongyang zhuan* states: "A comet is like white cotton floss, flaring up (孛孛然) as an omen of baleful qi." The *Shuowen* states: "It is formed from [孛-子] and 子; [孛-子] is pronounced like 費." In the transmission of the text it is written as 𭓋, which is also acceptable).
