Hi,Ng
惠安hui-uann chuanchiu sect pretty is thek 女+畜not 水sui for xiamen/chiancghiu.
It is hard to understand why Prof.chiu and Prof.Li use 相邀切(ch+io) for chhio which is correct for sound but not the meaning.The other in 集韻思邀切(s+iau) for crazy is a perfect match for the text.

嫷 means pretty 2200 years ago but dict put spelling as 徒果切 .It cannot match the sound of sui.That is why experts still use 水 as benzi.
