Scalding away [hair] (燖去: the first character has the fanqie 祥簷 [xián]. The Kaosheng says: "燂 means to boil; it refers to pouring hot water over hair or feathers to make them come off." The Shuowen says: "Formed from 火 (fire) with 覃 as the phonetic component." In the sūtra text it is written as 燖, which is a popular character; the standard form is [(((嘹-口)-小)-日+干)*(大/火)], and the ancient script writes it as [(夕/火)*(ㄆ/火)], which people today rarely use).
