6.219

呪詛 (The first character is also written as 祝 or 詶, with the fanqie zhi + shou; the Shuowen says: “Zhou also means to curse.” The second character has the fanqie ce + ju; the ancient script writes it as 樝. The Shiming says: “Zhu means to attach, that is, words of good or evil being attached to someone. Zu means causing someone’s actions to be hindered and restricted by speech.” The Shuowen says: “Composed of the speech radical (言) with qie as phonetic.” Qie has the fanqie zi + yu. In the scripture text it is written with the mouth radical as 咀, with the fanqie cai + yu, which means to chew and is not appropriate here.)
