Note: Within the Mountain (shan) radical is the character cui, and within the Mouth (kou) radical is the character zhui. Although the stroke count is the same, the character forms are distinctly different. At present, the meanings and pronunciations in various rhyme books are mixed. For example, this character is composed of the Mouth (kou) radical with the character cui, but Correct Rhymes (Zhengyun) describes it under the pronunciation zhui as having the appearance of a high mountain, which is the definition of cui. Broad Rhymes (Guangyun) and Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) mention it as having the appearance of height, and Broad Rhymes (Guangyun) also describes it as the shape of a mountain, which should refer to the character cui. These annotations should not be conflated, and the rhyme books are likely mistaken.
