莖稈（上幸耕反考聲莖本也本草曰莖集訓云草木𠏉也說文云枝主也從草巠聲也下干嬾反左傳云禾藁也廣雅稻莖曰稈考聲云禾黍莖也說文亦禾莖也從禾旱聲或作䄨亦同經文從𠏉作[卓*人]雖通用非本義也）。

Stems and stalks (莖稈) (The first character has the fanqie xing + geng [j-]. The Kaosheng says: 'Jing (莖) is the base.' The Bencao says: 'Jing.' The Jixun says: 'The stalk of herbs and trees.' The Shuowen says: 'The trunk of branches; derived from cao with jing as phonetic.' The second character has the fanqie gan + lan [g-]. The Zuo zhuan says: 'Grain straw.' The Guangya says: 'Rice stems are called gan (稈).' The Kaosheng says: 'Stems of grain and millet.' The Shuowen also says: 'Stalk of grain; derived from he (grain) with gan as phonetic.' Sometimes written 䄨, which is the same. When sūtra texts write it with gan (𠏉) as [卓*人], although commonly interchanged, that is not its primary meaning).
