搓以綫（上蒼何反廣蒼云以手搓絲為綫韻詮搓捼繩也古今正字從手差聲差字說文篆書從𠂹從左隸書取便宜改從𢆉作差變體字也𢆉音荏下仙薦反鄭注周禮云綫縷也說文從糸戔聲經文作線或作綖並俗字也非正體也）。

搓以綫 (The upper character has the fanqie [蒼+何]. The Guangcang says: "Twisting silk by hand to make thread." The Yunquan says: "搓 means rubbing cord." The Gujin zhengzi gives it with 手 and 差 phonetic. The character 差 in the Shuowen's seal script is from 𠂹 and 左; clerical script adopted convenience and changed it to follow 𢆉 as 差, which is a variant graph. 𢆉 is pronounced [荏]. The lower character has the fanqie [仙+薦]. Zheng's commentary to the Zhouli says: "綫 means thread." The Shuowen says: "From 糸 with 戔 phonetic." In the scripture text it is written 線 or 綖, both of which are vulgar graphs and not the orthodox form.)
