1.26

Narrow and constricted (隘陿: the upper character has the fanqie 鵶介. The Guangya says: "Pressed/confined." Wang Yi's commentary to the Chuci says: "Ài (隘) means perilous and narrow (阸)." It is also written as 阸. The lower character has the fanqie 咸甲. Gu Yewang says: "Pressed and confined." The Shuowen says: "It is formed with [the semantic element] fù (阜) and [the phonetic element] jiá (匧)." In the sūtra text it is written with 'dog' (犬) as 狹, which denotes familiarity and presumption, not its proper usage here).
