Zi Collection, Upper Volume, Page 10, Entry 03 Radical: Dog (quǎn) Pronounced qie (falling tone) Original form of the character "怯". "Book of Rhymes (Qingyun)" uses "去劫" to rhyme, and "Jiyun" uses "乞业" to rhyme. The pronunciation is the same as "胠". "Explanations of Characters (Shuowen Jiezi)" explains it as "very afraid". The character's form uses "犬" as the phonetic component and "去" as the phonetic element. Du Lin's explanation is that the character's form should use "心" as the phonetic component and be written as "怯". For detailed content, refer to the commentary on the character "怯" under the Heart (xīn) radical.
