置胯 [Placed on the hip]: The upper [character] has the fanqie 竹吏 (zhú + lì = zhì); the Qieyun says, “To place.” The Shuowen says, “To entrust; it derives from 罒 with the phonetic 直.” The lower [character] has the fanqie 開化 (kāi + huà = kuà); the Kaosheng says, “Between the two thighs.” It is also written 跨, meaning to step over, which is not the usage here.
