饑饉 (Famine and scarcity: the upper character has the fanqie 居疑; the lower character has the fanqie 巨靳; the Erya says: “When cereal grains do not ripen, it is 饑; when vegetables do not ripen, it is 饉”; Guo’s commentary says: “The five grains fail to mature; in general, all edible herbs and greens are collectively termed vegetables [蔬]”; it also says: “Continued famine is called 荐”; Guo’s commentary says: “Failure of crops for successive years”).
