1.44

Disdain and belittle (輕懱: the lower character has the fanqie 眠鼈. The Shuowen says: "To make light of, to treat contemptuously. Formed with [the semantic element] xīn (心), in the altered form 忄, and [the phonetic element] miè (薎); the sound is as above." In the sūtra text it is written with 'bamboo' (竹) as 篾, which means bamboo bark, not the meaning intended in the sūtra. Some editions write it with 'hand' (手) as [打-丁+蔑], which is the name of a musical piece; we do not adopt it here).
