3.46

Filaments and pistils (鬚蘂: the first character has the fanqie 相俞 [xiang + yu / xū]. The Qieyun says: "A small hair bun." The second character has the fanqie 如捶 [ru + chui / ruǐ]. The Guangya says: "Flowers; that is, the points at the ends of flower filaments." The Shuowen says: "Written as 蘂 with three 心; it says the exterior of a flower is called the calyx, and the interior of a flower is called the pistil." In scripture texts it is written with three 止, or with 木 as 蘃, which are both incorrect.)
