bili 鄙𨛋 (The first character has the fanqie bei + mei [b-]. Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: "Bi means rustic." The Shiji says: "Lowly." Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci says: "Small." The Shuowen says it takes the city radical and has [圖-囗] as phonetic; [圖-囗] has the same sound as above. The second character has the fanqie li + er [l-]. He Xiu's commentary on the Gongyang zhuan says: "Rustic is like vulgar." Hence the Hanshu says: "Plain and not vulgar." Ru Chun's commentary says: "The rustic language of village lanes." The Shuowen says it takes the city radical and has li as phonetic. In the transmitted text it takes the person radical, written as 俚, which is a commonly used character).
