康熙字典文字版 【戌集中】【阜字部】阨
【集韻】【正韻】烏懈切【韻會】幺解切，𠀤音䅬。【集韻】本作𨽩。或作隘，阸陋也。【正韻】狹也。【左思·吳都賦】邦有湫阨而踡跼。　又【左傳·昭元年】彼徒我車，所遇又阨。【註】地險不便車。又【定四年】還塞大隧、直轅、冥阨。【註】三者漢東之隘道。【史記·秦始皇紀】閉關據阨。　又【集韻】【正韻】𠀤乙革切，音厄。【集韻】限也。本作阸，塞也。　又【周禮·地官·鄕師】以歲時巡國及野，而賙萬民之囏阨。【孟子】阨窮而不憫。◎按說文、玉篇、廣韻皆有阸無阨，故正字通云，阨，俗阸字。然左傳、孟子皆作阨，亦未可以爲俗字也。
考證：〔【定四年】還塞大隧，直轅，冥阨。【註】二者，漢東之隘道。〕　謹照原文二者改三者。
