[卄/臻]草(上士臻反字書木叢生也考聲草木雜生也從草臻聲經文從木作榛音臻似栗而小非秦草義也)。

Dense weeds ([卄/臻]草: the first character has the fanqie *sh- / zh-*, dictionaries say: "Trees growing thickly"; the Kaosheng says: "Grasses and trees growing mixed together; derived from cao 草 with zhen 臻 as phonetic"; the sūtra text mistakenly writes it with mu 木 as zhen 榛, which is pronounced zhen and resembles a small chestnut, not fitting the meaning of tangled grass).
