"Do not set fire to the plains" (不燎): [燎 is pronounced with the fanqie] li + zhao (liao). The commentary to the Mao Commentary to the Book of Odes says: 'Setting fire to the hunting grounds is called liao.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It means setting fire. It has the fire radical (火) and liao (尞) phonetic.' 𤊽 has the same pronunciation as above. The compiled text writes 燎, which is a vulgar character.
