2.39

聚落 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie *j-*, [ju], from 疾 and 喻. Wei Zhao's commentary to the *Hanshu* states: 'A small township is called a 聚; an enclosed settlement with a hedge is called a 落; because it is where people dwell.' For the character 聚, the *Shuowen* states: 'It takes 乑 as semantic and 取 as phonetic; 乑 is pronounced *y-*, [yin], and is composed of three 人 [persons].')
