刻鏤（上肯勒反下樓豆反爾雅云金謂之鏤木謂之刻郭璞注云皆謂治璞之名也考聲鏤錯也攻理金銀也杜注左傳云刻亦鏤也說文剛䥫可以刻鏤也刻從刀亥聲鏤從金婁聲也經文作鏤俗字也）。

刻鏤 (the first character is ken-le fan; the second is lou-dou fan; the Erya says: "Working metal is called lou; working wood is called ke"; Guo Pu's commentary says: "Both refer to carving the unworked material"; the Kaosheng says: "Lou means inlaying and embellishing, working and refining gold and silver"; Du Yu's commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: "Ke also means lou"; the Shuowen jiezi says: "Rigid iron can be used to carve and engrave; ke is composed of 'knife' with hai as phonetic; lou is composed of 'metal' with lou as phonetic"; in the sūtra text it is written 鏤, which is a vulgar character).
