Mourning on the battlements (陴: fanqie 婢彌 [pí]. The Zuozhuan says: "Those who guarded the battlements all wept." Du says: "The crenels atop the city wall." The Shuowen jiezi states: "The low wall atop a city rampart, a parapet; composed of 阝 with 卑 phonetic." In large seal script it is written as 陴. Collected editions have it under 金 as 錍, which is incorrect. 埤 is pronounced 陛 [bì]; 堄 is pronounced in the fanqie 霓傒 [nì]; also written as 𨺙 with the same pronunciation).
