10.177

紛綸(上芳文反字書云眾也又亂也紛紜也下力迍反說文云糾青絲也二字並從糸分侖皆聲也)。

Confused and tangled (紛綸: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 芳文 [f- + -ɨun = fēn]. A dictionary says: 'Numerous'; it also means disordered, confused and chaotic. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 力迍 [l- + -iuɪn = lún]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Twisting green silk.' Both characters take the silk radical [糸]; 分 and 侖 are both phonetic).
