可怪 ('astonishing': the second character is the orthodox form of 恠. The Shuowen says: '恠 means strange. It is derived from 心 (heart) with 圣 as phonetic.' Gu Yewang says: 'Whatever is extraordinary and unusual is called 怪.' In the transmission text it is written with left and right reversed as 恠, which is an ancient character, or written as 恠, which is a vulgar character).
