䪴首 [zhènshǒu, occiput of the head] (The first character has the fanqie 針稔 [zhēn + rěn]. The Cangjie pian says: 'Zhèn is the appearance of bowing the head.' The Shenglei says: 'Having a pillow under the nape of the neck.' The Kaosheng says: 'The bone at the back of the brain; nowadays called the pillow bone (yùfán).' The Shuowen says: 'The nape-pillow.' It takes 頁 as semantic and 冘 as phonetic. Examining this, the pillow used for resting should properly take 木 as semantic to form 枕. 冘 is pronounced 淫 [yín]).
