2.29

羸瘦 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie *l-*, [lei], from 累 and 危. Du's commentary on the *Zuo zhuan* states: '羸 means weak.' Xu You's sub-commentary on the *Huainanzi* states: 'It means feeble.' It takes 羊 [sheep] as semantic and 𣎆 as phonetic. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie *sh-*, [shou], from 所 and 救. The *Qieyun* states: '瘦 means emaciated and impaired.' The *Shuowen* states: 'It takes 疒 [illness] as semantic and 叟 as phonetic; the orthodox form is written 瘦.' The sūtra text writes it as 瘦, a popular variant; 疒 is pronounced with the fanqie *n-*, [ne], from 女 and 厄.)
