93.3

𣏌梓 'Willow and catalpa' (The first character is pronounced like 杞 [*kɨX*], the name of a tree. The Classic of Mountains and Seas states: 'On the Mountain of Dongshen there is a tree resembling a poplar with reddish grain, whose sap is like blood; it has no fruit and is named 𣏌.' The second character has the fanqie [茲死, *tsiX*], the name of a southern tree. When one appraises catalpa (梓) and lacquer trees, they are fit for making zithers (qin and se). The Shuowen notes both derive from [the radical] 'tree' and are phono-semantic characters).
