Yin Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Mountain (shān) 岌 Kangxi strokes: 7 Page 308, Entry 18 Pronounced ji (rising tone). Shuowen Jiezi (Shuowen): Appearance of a mountain that is high. Erya: Explaining Mountains (Erya): A small mountain that is ji (rising tone) compared to a large mountain is called huan. Commentary: Ji (rising tone) refers to being high and passing over. Sub-commentary: This means when a small mountain and a large mountain are adjacent, and the small mountain is higher than the large mountain, it is called huan. It does not mean the small mountain is named ji (rising tone) and the large mountain is named huan. Also, Jiyun: Dangerous. Qu Yuan, Li Sao (On Encountering Sorrow): My high crown is precarious and tall. Zhengzitong: The character e is originally the same as ji (rising tone), having the two pronunciations of nie and yi. Zihui separates e as pronunciation nie, and ji (rising tone) as pronunciation ji (rising tone), treating them as two, which is incorrect.
