Low and high walls (垣牆: the first character has the fanqie 遠 + 元; the Mao Commentary to the Book of Odes says, “Yuan is also a wall.” The second character has the fanqie 匠 + 羊; Shenglei says, “Also a wall. The Book of Documents says, ‘None dare cross walls.’ Shuowen says, ‘A wall is a sheltering enclosure; it takes 嗇 with 爿 for phonetic.’ In the sūtras it is sometimes written 墻, [堐-圭+(土/回)], or [爿*((暴-(日/共))/回)], which are all popular forms”).
