Jo see. It has here the same value as 如 ju in. [Père Zottoli is right this time with quoad, but Eitel is wrong again with "If a man like Liang Hao" and an apodosis which begins at !]

Liang see. Here a surname.

The author of the San Tzŭ Ching has added the extra ten years.

Pa see.

Shih see.

Erh see.

Tui was originally composed of 寸 ts'un inch, and an obsolete word meaning luxuriant, the old radical, over 口 k'ou a mouth.
