Heavy embroidery: [示*(薾-(示-一)+┬)] [zhi] (陟 + 紀 fanqie. The Erya says: "'Zhi' means to sew." Guo [Pu's] commentary says: "People today refer to stitching clothes as zhi." The Guangya says: "'Zhi' means to insert [the needle]." The Shuowen jiezi says: "What is sewn with needle and thread." It is also written as 黹; 黹 derives from radical 黹 with 華 abbreviated phonetic; 華 is pronounced 仕 + 角 fanqie; 紩 is pronounced 袟. The collection writing it with radical 爾 as 禰 is a scribal error).
