慰賻 'Condolence and funeral gift' (The fanqie is [符付, *bjuH*], homophonous with 附. Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary to the Rites of Zhou states: 'This refers to presenting funeral gifts to the mourning family—clothing for the deceased, assisting their insufficiencies. What is sent to the deceased is called 𮚐, and what is sent to the living is called 賻.' 𮚐 has the fanqie [豊諷, *pjuwngH*]. The Shuowen notes it derives from [the radical] 'cowrie' and has the sound 尃).
