I'm rather confused about what 耳根 — base/root of the ear (Wenlin: “base of earlobe”) — does actually mean. In most examples/quotations for this sense it would naturally be translated simply as "ear". Is it the bottom part of the ear? Wouldn't that just be the earlobe? Most examples are about being red or feeling hot, which makes me think it might be the part of the ear that connects to the head, not the bottom part, as in "the ear was red from the tip to the base". But I'm still not sure, as that would make Wenlin's definition completely wrong.

* The Buddhist sense should be better but it would require submitting an entry for 六根 and for each of the other five "roots of sensation".

他激动起来,耳根都涨红了,也有一点儿紧张。
He grew excited, and red-eared, and a little nervous.

她的耳根有一处很深的伤口,淌着血。
Under her ear was a deep wound, which was bleeding.

他耳根都红了.他知道是他的错.
His ears burned. He knew it was his fault.

簡單舉例來說,賽考列克亞族的文面線條,無論男女都是細長型;女性的頰文從顴骨上而下至人中,所形成V字型的角度最小。澤敖列亞族的文面線條最粗,女性的頰文由耳根經過顴骨而至人中,角度約為九十度。賽德克亞族女子的頰文是由耳根開始,繞至顴骨下端而至人中,角度最廣。
Among the Saikaoliehko Atayal, for example, the lines on both the men and women were long and thin. The cheek tattoo for the women would stretch from the cheek bones down to the philtrum, the groove between the upper lip and nose. This was the smallest "V" found among any Atayals. The Tseaolieh Atayal had the thickest of lines. The cheek tattoos on the women started from right below their ears and went across their cheeks to their philtrums, forming a 90 degree angle. The tattoos of the Saiteke Atayal started from beneath the ears and crossed under the cheekbones to the philtrum, forming the widest angle among Atayal facial tattoos.

现在在他的注视之下,对着这葵绿异香的洋肥皂,可不禁脸上有些发热了,而且这热又不绝的蔓延开去,即刻一径到耳根。
Now, however, under Siming's close scrutiny and face to face with that sunflower green cake of soap with its exotic scent, she could not control that warmth—it grew and grew until it reached the base of her ears. (Lyells)
Now, under his scrutiny, she could not help blushing as she looked at this green, foreign soap with the curious scent, and this blush spread right to the tips of her ears. (Yangs)
# But his inquisitorial scrutiny, in the company of this green imported soap, forced a hot flush out to the tips of her ears. (Lovells)
