…by day Ding (for) Ancestress Geng. 373 I take xu 戌 as an orthographic error for shu 戍; see 88.14 and commentary. 374 The single graph occurs in between 歸and 丁, but neither ZSKY 2003 nor Yao Xuan identify it. I suggest to read it as an incomplete writing of ni 屰(逆) “meet, welcome”. In HYZ script 屰is written , and enough of the graph is visible to make an identification. The phrase ni Ding 屰(逆)丁occurs elsewhere, for instance on 236.16-19, and the grammatical construction “ni 屰 + name of person” is even more common; see 294.5, 409.32 and 492. 375 The person called Ji here is likely the same person called Jimu 季母on 139. The appellation mu 母in the name implies she was female. HYZ 249-HYZ 250 | 249
