95.	乃	九	族	$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$	These are the nine agnates,
	Nai3	chiu3	tsu2
	Then	nine	agnates

Nai see line 6.

Chiu see line 33.

Tsu is composed of an obsolete word meaning to bend, to wave, and 矢 shih an arrow, but is now classed under radical 方 fang square (line 14). It seems to have originally meant a bundle of arrow-heads, from which it is easy to reach such meanings as clan, family. It came to be used in the sense of agnatic relatives, especially of these nine degrees, as early as the 書經 Shu Ching Canon of History (lines 135, 146).

96.	人	之	倫	$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$	constituting the kinships of man.
	Jen2	chih1	lun2
	Man	arrive	relationship

Jen see line 1.

Chih see line 1. Here obviously of possessive influence.

Lun is composed of jen man as radical, and an important phonetic (see line 115) made up of an old radical 亼, now used for 集 chi collected together, and 册 ts'ê (see line 116), which phonetic means to think, to arrange. The primary sense of lun was constant, invariable; then it came to mean classes, relationships (see line 105), obligations, etc. [Eitel strangely renders this line by "which constitute mankind's determined order."]

97.	父	子	恩	$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$	Affection between father and child,
	Fu4	tzŭ3	ên1
	Father	child	affection

Fu see line 18.

Tzŭ see line 11.
