3.139

Vegetation and trees (卉木: the first character has the fanqie 輝 + 貴. The Shuowen jiezi says: "The collective name for the hundred herbs. Formed from three chu [屮], written as 芔." Chu (屮) has the fanqie 丑 + 列, shaped like grass newly sprouting. Two chu combined make cao (艸), pronounced cao. Four chu make mang (茻), pronounced mang. Now 芔 is altered to follow thirty [三十]").
