4.62

牆壁(上疾良反說文垣也五版為堵釋名云牆障也所以自障蔽也從嗇爿聲經作[土*(圭/皿)]𡓜[土*(坐-工+皿)]皆非下比激反說文屋牆也釋名曰壁辟也謂辟禦風寒也從土辟聲)。

牆壁 (for the first character, [qiáng], fanqie 疾良 [dz- + -ɨaŋ = dzɨaŋ/qiáng]. The Shuowen says: “A low wall. Five planks make a dǔ.” The Shiming says: “A wall (牆) is a barrier (障), that by which one screens and protects oneself. It takes 嗇 as radical and 爿 as phonetic.” In the sūtra it is written [土*(圭/皿)], 𡓜, or [土*(坐-工+皿)]; all are incorrect. For the second character, [bì], fanqie 比激 [p- + -ek = pek/bì]. The Shuowen says: “A room wall.” The Shiming says: “壁 means to ward off (辟), meaning to ward off wind and cold. It takes 土 as radical and 辟 as phonetic.”)
