Broad Rhymes (Guangyun): Pronounced ma (falling tone). Collected Rhymes (Jiyun), Rhyme Compilation (Yunhui), and Correct Rhymes (Zhengyun): Pronounced ma (falling tone). Jade Chapters (Yupian): To scold. Also, Broad Rhymes (Guangyun): Pronounced ma (rising tone). Collected Rhymes (Jiyun): Pronounced ma (rising tone). The meaning is the same. Correct Character Comprehensive Explanation (Zhengzitong): According to the Six Writings (Liushu), this character was originally written as ma (variant), commonly written as the variant form (tuo), and vulgarly written as ma. The character ma is recorded under the Radical: Horse (mǎ), while the character ma is recorded separately under the Radical: Net (wǎng). This is an error in the arrangement of the character compilation, which is preserved here as it is.
