8.105

Wǎngmán (webbed fingers and toes) (the second character has the fanqie mǔ + huán. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Mán means to cover." Examining this, wǎngmán refers to the Tathāgata's webbed fingers and toes resembling those of the king of geese, continuous without gap. In the Vinaya text it is written as 輞 [wheel rim], which is a cart rim; or written as 縵 [plain silk], with the fanqie mò + pàn; both characters are errors).
