嗚噎 [Sobbing and choking] (The first character has the fanqie wū + gū. The second character has the fanqie yān + jié. The *Shangshu* states: "'Alas' (嗚呼) is an exclamation of sighing." The *Shuowen* states: "It is also written with the 'yawn' radical 欠 as 歍." The commentary on the *Mao Shijing* states: "*Ye* means unable to catch one's breath due to grief." The *Fangyan* states: "Pain." The *Shuowen* has both characters formed with the 'mouth' radical as phono-semantic characters).
