Begging and entreating (乞匃: the second character has the fanqie 垓艾 [gai + ai / gài]. Gu Yewang says: "'匃' also means to beg." The Kaosheng says: "To seek." The Gujin zhengzi says: "When a person has lost property, they beg (匃)." The Shuowen says: "Formed from 人 [person] and 亾 [lost]; it is an ideographic compound. In ancient times it was written as 勹 or 几, both pronounced '人'.")
