Chou Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Earth (tǔ) Entry: 埾 Kangxi Strokes: 11 Page 231, Entry 19 Pronounced ju (falling tone) Shuowen Jiezi (Dictionary of Graphic Components): A pile of earth. Derived from the abbreviated form of the character for assemble. Guangyun (Broad Rimes): To pile up. Textual Research: The original text of Shuowen Jiezi states: A pile of earth. It also says: To build. The phrase to build is not found in the original text, so these four words have been omitted. Following the note regarding the abbreviated form of assemble, the definition from Guangyun, to pile up, has been added.
