Note: In the Shuowen Jiezi, it is correctly written as 睽. The Juyou states it should be written differently, which is incorrect. The Zhengyun Jian states that the kui in kuigu (solitary/alienated) is written with the eye radical, the kui in kuiwei (deviation/disobedience) is written with the sun radical, and the kui in longkui (deaf and distant) is written with the ear radical. Common usage mixes them, which is incorrect. The Yuan claims that 暌 is a corrupted form of 睽, which is also incorrect.
