掬滿（弓六反掬俗用非本字正作匊字書在手曰匊說文作臼兩手相對象形字也考聲作[(蔡-示)-?+?]亦作𡷓古字兩手撮取也皆古字也今通作鞠用引失之矣下滿字從水䓣聲也䓣音與上同說文云䓣平也從[共-八]凡五行之數[共-八]分為一辰[共-八]兩乎也故從兩）。

掬滿 (Filling a handful: with the fanqie 弓 + 六 [jū]. 掬 is a vulgar usage and not the original character; the standard form is 匊. Dictionaries say: 'What is held in the hand is called jū.' The Shuowen jiezi writes it as 臼, a pictographic character depicting two hands facing each other. The Kaosheng writes [(蔡-示)-?+?], and also 𡷓; in ancient characters, they mean to take up with both hands. These are all ancient characters. Nowadays it is widely used as 鞠, which by extension loses the original form. The lower character, 滿, is composed of 水 with 䓣 phonetic. The pronunciation of 䓣 is the same as the upper character. The Shuowen jiezi says: '䓣 means level/even. Composed of [共-八]; of the numbers of the five phases, [共-八] divides into one earthly branch; [共-八] is paired (liǎng), hence it is composed of 兩').
