圭竇 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 桂 [guì] + 擕 [xié], [guī]. The "Conduct of the Scholar" in the Liji says: "Wicker gates and splay-hole windows, bramble doors and jar openings"; this is it. Zheng Xuan's commentary says: "A 'dòu' is an aperture or hole." Examining this, a 'guīdòu' is a category of small window or aperture. The Shuowen says: "It is composed of doubled 土 [earth]." The second character has the sound 豆 [dòu]).
