11.168

橐囊(湯洛反下諾郎反考聲云無底袋也案橐囊即橐籥也老氏曰天地之間其猶橐籥乎俗呼名韛音敗袋是也用鼓風以吹火也)。

Bellows-bag (tuonang: [first syllable] tang-luo fan; the second [syllable] nuo-lang fan. The Kaosheng says: 'A bag without a bottom.' We note that tuonang is precisely the tuoyue [bellows]. Laozi says: 'Between heaven and earth, is it not like a bellows?' The vulgar call it bai [bellows], pronounced bai; it is a sack. It is used to pump wind to blow up fire.)
