offerings’; Tōdō, in contrast, takes here as

associated sense ‘a hollow, cavity’, giving ‘accumulated/stagnant
water’. ‘Dirty’ is an extended
sense, incorporating both physical dirt and abstract
in a sense such as ‘dirty’ trick. OT1968:557;
KJ1970:70-71; TA1965:418-20. Suggest taking
亐 as twisted peg.

TA1965:857.

extended meanings. SS1984:64; OT1968:461;
