2.6

Screen / obstacle (翳障) (The first [character] has the fanqie yú + jì [yì]. Gu Yewang says: 'To conceal; also to cover.' The Shuowen states: 'A feather canopy, held by dancers to conceal the body. It derives from feather (羽) with the phonetic yì (殹).' The second [character] is also written as 鄣; both have the fanqie zhī + liàng [zhàng]. The Qieyun states: 'Zhàng means to block; to separate.' The character books say: 'To screen.' The Yupian states: 'It is also written as 㢓.' The Shuowen states: 'It derives from mound (阜) with the phonetic zhāng (章)').
