睫瞤 [Twitching of the eyelashes]: The upper [character] has the fanqie 即葉 (jí + yè = jié); the Shuowen says, “The hairs beside the eyes.” The Shiming says, “睫 means inserted (插), meaning inserted into the eye-frame.” It also says, “The hair on the eyelids; it derives from 目 [eye] with an abbreviated phonetic 捷.” The lower [character] has the fanqie 如均 (rú + jūn = rún), also written 眴; the Qieyun says, “Twitching of the eyelid; it derives from 目 with the phonetic 閏.”
