4.46

欻然 (for the first character, [xū], fanqie 輝律 [x- + -uǐt = xiuət/xū]. Bian Cong says: “欻 means swift.” The Cangjie pian says: “To rise up suddenly.” The Shuowen says: “To blow up. It takes 炎 as radical and an abbreviated 吹 as phonetic; it is an associative compound.” For the second character, the character 然 takes 肉, 犬, and 灬. 灬 is pronounced 標, depicting the appearance of fire. It means a dog pursuing meat, with fire (灬) roasting it; this is also an associative compound.)
