射師（食夜反說文射弓弩發於身而中於遠也從身從寸寸者法度也亦手也或從矢作䠶亦通）。

射師: [The first character is] shí-yè fan (shè). The Shuowen jiezi states: "Shè means an arrow launched from the body with bow or crossbow to hit a distant target; it derives from 身 ('body') and 寸 ('inch'); 寸 is standard measure, and also hand." Sometimes written with 矢 ('arrow') as 䠶, which is also acceptable.
