隙光 (for the first character, [xì], fanqie 綺戟 [kʰ- + -ɨɐk = kʰɨɐk/xì]. The Qieyun says: “Leisure; an interval.” The Kaosheng says: “A hole in a wall.” The Shuowen says: “Empty intervals are all called 隙. It takes 阜 and 白; upper and lower are small.” In the sūtra text it is written 隟 or 隙; both are incorrect. For the second character, [guāng], fanqie 古皇 [k- + -uɑŋ = kuɑŋ/guāng]. The Erya says: “光 means filling.” The Qieyun says: “Bright; great; manifest.” Anciently written with the character 光.)
