銅鈸(盤沫反古字書無鈸字近代出也字統云樂器名也形如小瓶口對而擊之考聲云形如小疊子背上有鼻以二口相擊為聲以和眾樂也形聲字犮音同上)。

Bronze cymbals (銅鈸; [the second character is pronounced with the] fanqie pán + [m]ò. The character bó does not exist in ancient character dictionaries; it arose in recent generations. The Zitong says: “The name of a musical instrument; shaped like a small vase, their openings are struck against one another.” The Kaosheng says: “Shaped like a small saucer with a knob on the back; the two rims are struck against each other to make a sound, harmonizing the ensemble of music.” It is a phono-semantic character. Fá has the same pronunciation as above).
