7.117

髆傭 [Shoulders well-proportioned]: The upper [character] has the sound 愽 (bó); the Kaosheng says, “The upper part of the thigh, the hip.” The Shuowen says, “The shoulder blade (髆); it derives from 骨 with the phonetic 專.” In the sūtra text it derives from 肉 as 膊, with the sound 普博 (pǔ + bó = pō), meaning dried meat, which is not the meaning here. The lower [character] has the fanqie 丑龍 (chǒu + lóng = chōng); Zheng's commentary to the Mao Shijing says, “滽 means well-proportioned.” The Shuowen says, “Well-proportioned and straight; it derives from 人 with the phonetic 庸.” Some write 𦟛, which is also commonly accepted as a vulgar character.
