7.5

纂歷 (The upper character is 作 + 管 [zuǎn]; Yunying says it means "to collect"; the Erya's "Explaining Words" says: "Zuǎn means to succeed/continue"; the Shuowen says: "It is formed from 糸 (silk) with 算 as phonetic"; 算 is pronounced 蘇 + 管 [suǎn]; the sūtra text has it with 莫 as [a variant of] 纂, which does not form a correct character. The lower character is 郎 + 的 [lì]; the Qieyun says it means "to pass through / experience"; the Erya says: "Lì means reckoning / counting"; the Shuowen says: "It is formed from 止 with 厤 as phonetic"; 厤 has the same sound as above; the sūtra text writes 曆, which is the character for "calendar" (lìrì), not the lì of zuǎnlì).
