Jade Chapters (Yupian) provides the pronunciation through the combination of ju and ni, which is pronounced ji (rising tone). The meaning is to be weary or exhausted. Note: The Collection of Characters (Zihui) includes the character in the Radical: Desk (ji) section, with the pronunciation given as ji (rising tone), and defines it as fatigue or weariness. The book cites the opinions of Sima Zhen, Yang Shen, and others, pointing out that the pronunciation and meaning of this character are the same, noting only that the character forms vary, with some derived from the Radical: Desk (ji), others from the Radical: Lame (wang), and others from the Radical: Pellet (wan), leading to inconsistent spellings. The Corrected Meaning of Characters (Zhengzitong) considers all these forms to be erroneous. For further details, see the annotations for this character in the Radical: Desk (ji) section.
