Kangxi Dictionary

Zi Collection, Upper Volume, Page 10, Entry 01 Radical: Lack (qiàn) Pronounced guǎn (falling tone) - this is the pronunciation of the simplified form of the character 㝮. Commentary: This is the seal script form of the character "kuǎn". For a detailed explanation, please refer to the previous annotation of the character "kuǎn". Also, in the "Yupian" (Yùpiān), the pronunciation is "sì cuì qiè", which sounds like "suì". The meaning is to inquire. Commentary: The "Shuowen Jiezi" (Shuōwén Jiězì) records that people in the Chu region called divination and asking about good or bad fortune by this character. The character's form is derived from "yòu" (hand) holding "suì". The pronunciation is "zhī ruì qiè", sounding like "zhuì", which is completely different from the character "㱁" pronounced "kǔ guǎn qiè". It is likely that the "Yupian" adopted the character's form, leading to an erroneous pronunciation. Its radical is "yòu", not "qiàn". The record in "Shuowen Jiezi" should be taken as the standard.
