4.37

萎悴 (for the first character, [wěi], fanqie 於媯 [ʔ- + -wiɛ = ʔwiɛ/wěi]. The Yunying says: “萎 means withered and drooping.” The Shuowen says: “It takes 草 as radical and 萎 as phonetic, meaning grass fallen limp upon the ground.” For the second character, [cuì], fanqie 情醉 [dz- + -yis = dzyi/cuì]. It is noted that 萎悴 ought properly to be written 瘁 or 顇. The Erya says: “It means illness.” 悴 means sorrow. In the sūtra it is written with the vulgar character 忰.)
