The standard form is written 箭, derived from 竹 \[bamboo\], 止, and 舟 \[boat\]. Cai Yong added 刂, with the fanqie 古外 \[guài\]; 刂 represents water, allowing a boat to travel. Later, through running and cursive scripts, 止 was corrupted, 舟 became 月, and 刂 became 刀, gradually becoming corrupt and erroneous. The Kaosheng says: '箭 was originally the name of a bamboo.' Examining this, its leaves resemble reeds, growing in clusters five or six feet high; its stems are slender, sturdy, and solid, suitable for arrow shafts (笴 has the fanqie 千且 \[qiǎn\]), and therefore arrows were named 箭. Thus the Shuowen jiezi says: '箭 means arrow; derived from 竹 with the sound 前.' The lower character has the fanqie 𥹺活 \[kuò\]. The Kaosheng says: 'The opening of an arrow.' We note that the arrow nock is the opening that receives the bowstring. The sūtra text writing it with the water radical as 栝 is also acceptable. The Shuowen jiezi derives it from 竹 with the abbreviated sound 栝. 栝 has the same sound as the kuò in tangkuo \[quern-scraper\]. 勁 has the sound 逕 \[jìng\]). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.3.150) - [Next: 3.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.3.152) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.3.151) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.3.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.3.151) · Pramāṇa
