15.251

利斧（夫武反字書鉞斧也說文斫物斧也從斤父聲今經文作鈇此字有平上二音說文莝斫也字統云莝刃也蒼頡篇云鈇猶砧也並非此義準經且冝作斧）。

利斧 (Sharp axe: with the fanqie 夫 + 武 [fǔ]. Dictionaries say: 'Battle-axe (yuèfǔ).' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'An axe for chopping things.' Composed of 斤 with 父 phonetic. The current sūtra text writes 鈇; this character has both level and rising tones. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'To chop fodder.' The Zitong says: 'A straw-chopping blade.' The Cangjie pian says: 'Fū is like a chopping block.' None of these fit the present meaning; following the sūtra's context, it should properly be written as 斧).
