94.141

It is foul (薉矣: the first character is fanqie yu + hui [huì]. Character dictionaries also properly write it with 禾 as 穢; huì means overgrown with weeds; it also means unclean, and furthermore evil. The Gujin zhengzi gives the same meaning: formed from [the radical] 禾 (grain) with 歲 as phonetic. It is also written with 草 (grass) as 薉, which matches the transmission's text).
