Wall

An almanac describes traditional day-types. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children. Burial, marriage and medical items on these pages are what a book states, never advice.

In the classical sources

壁居其旁則取㺄為猪之類以配之

壁 stands beside it, and the 㺄, of the pig's kind, is paired with it.

About this entry

壁, the Wall, takes a beast written 㺄 as kin to the pig in 協紀辨方書 卷一. It sits beside 室 in the 亥 palace. It is also on the list of cutting-clothes mansions that 卷三十六 sets aside.

The water group of 星厯考原 卷五 counts it with 參, 軫 and 箕, and water meets Wednesday only through a modern convention. 室 precedes it and 奎 follows. Nothing else is stated.
