說文解字 - Shuowen: 《言部》詎詎犹豈也。从言巨聲。

康熙字典文字版 【酉集上】【言字部】詎
【唐韻】其呂切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】臼許切，𠀤音巨。【說文】詎，猶豈也。【莊子·大宗師】庸詎知吾所謂天之非人乎。【後漢·光武紀】天下詎可知而閉長者乎。【宋書·沈約自序】若馳一介，四方詎不響應。　又【玉篇】止也，至也，格也。　又通作巨。【前漢·高帝紀】沛公不先破關中兵，公巨能入乎。【師古註】巨，讀曰詎，猶豈也。　又【廣韻】【集韻】【韻會】𠀤其據切，巨去聲。義同。　又【字林】未知詞也。　【正字通】《讀書通》詎通作渠、鉅、遽，𠀤非。
考證：〔又【廣韻】【集韻】【韻會】𠀤其據切，巨上聲。義同。〕　謹按其據切係去聲非上聲，上字謹改去字。
