歔欷 (The upper character is 朽 + 居 with fanqie. The lower character is 許 + 既 with fanqie. The Kaosheng says: 'Sorrowful.' The Yunlüe says: 'To weep.' Gu Yewang says: '歔欷 denotes the remaining sounds of sobbing.' The Shuowen says: 'Both are formed with 欠 ("to yawn/gasp") and 虛 and 希 respectively as phonetic components.' 欷 is in the departing tone).
