9.10

疆界 (The upper character is [pronounced] 居 + 良 with fanqie. The Erya says: 'Jiāngjiè means border, defense, surrounding boundary.' Guo's commentary says: 'Borderlands and territories, boundaries and guarding outposts are all on the outer rim.' The Shuowen says: '疆 is formed with 土 ("earth") and 彊 phonetically. 界 is formed with 田 ("field") and 介, depicting the shape of dividing boundaries.' In the vinaya text it is written as 彊, which is the standard form of the character 強 and is incorrect).
