According to the Rhyme Compendium (Jiyun), the Collection of Rhymes (Yunhui), and the Correct Rhymes (Zhengyun), this character is the same as mo. In the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji), Biography of Wang Jian, it is written: acting with sycophancy to gain favor, which leads to death. Note: the rhyme books equate it with mo, but the Categorized Compilation (Leipian) defines it as to bury, separating mo and gu into two distinct meanings.
