93.142

Seated encoffined (坐殯: the lower character has the fanqie bin-ren [bìn]. Zheng's commentary to the Liji says: 'When the deceased is in the coffin and not yet buried, and placed upon the western steps, it is called bin [殯].' The Shuowen says: 'It is derived from "remains" [歺] and phonetic bin [賓].' In commentary texts it is written with the "earth" radical [土] as 𡒨, which is incorrect. The standard form is derived from gai [丐]).
