Commentary
[痴补颈诲奴谤测补 is explained as something coming from 惫颈诲奴谤补. In reality, it comes from 产腻濒补惫腻测补 and is only polished at 惫颈诲奴谤补. It is, therefore, assumed that 产腻濒补惫腻测补 and 惫颈诲奴谤补 are the same. Or, it may be that among grammarians 产腻濒补惫腻测补 is known as 惫颈诲奴谤补, just as 痴腻谤腻峁嘺蝉墨 is known as 闯颈迟惫补谤墨 among merchants. Likewise, 痴颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺 and 搁补惫补峁嘺 are the same. The 痴峁泃迟颈 adds that grammarians consider 惫颈诲奴谤补 to be a substitute for the stem 产腻濒补惫腻测补 when the suffix 峁补帽 follows.
What the 痴峁泃迟颈 and 笔耻峁噛补谤腻箩补 say is based upon the following 艣濒辞办补惫腻谤迟迟颈办补 on P. 4.3.84:鈥�
