碑誄 (The first character has the fanqie 彼皮 [bǐ + pí]. The Shiming states: 'Steles were originally erected at funerals so that ministers and sons could recount the merits of their lords and fathers, inscribing them thereon.' The second character has the fanqie 力軌 [lì + guǐ]. The Kaosheng states: '誄 means to pile up [壘], recounting the deceased and expressing sorrow.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '誄 is a posthumous praise; derived from 言 [speech] with 耒 as phonetic.' 耒 has the fanqie 盧會 [lú + huì]).
