Ai is composed of 衣 i clothes with 口 k'ou mouth inserted in the middle as radical. This is a common arrangement (lines 38, 161). Eitel wrongly renders by "grief."

Chü is composed of 心 hsin heart as radical, with a phonetic made up of two 目 mu eyes over 隹 chui a short-tailed bird. The phonetic originally meant the glance of a kite, which would excite fear; hence it came to mean timid, and was probably used in early times without its present radical. One old form was two 目 mu eyes over 心 hsin heart. Some cheap editions erroneously read 樂 lo; hence Eitel's rendering "pleasure."

83.	愛	惡	欲	${\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}}$	of love, of hate, and of desire.
	Ai4	wu4	yü4
	Love	hate	desire

Ai was originally composed of 夊 sui to walk slowly as radical,
