矛矟（上莫侯反說文酋矛也戈類也呂氏春秋云[山/虫]尤作五兵矛長丈二建於兵車象形字也經從牟作鉾非也下雙卓反古今正字矟亦矛也亦名拘孑戟長一丈八尺今之戟矟也從矛肖省聲也經從木作梢非也）。

矛矟 (The first is mò plus hóu [máo]; the Shuowen says it is a qiumao spear, a type of dagger-axe; the Lüshi chunqiu states that Chiyou fashioned the five weapons, the spear being twelve feet long and set upon war chariots; it is a pictographic character; the sūtra writes it with 牟 as 鉾, which is incorrect. The second is shuāng plus zhuó [shuò]; the Gujin zhengzi states that a 矟 is also a spear, also called a hooked lance, eighteen feet long; it is today's halberd-lance; from 矛 'spear' with the abbreviated 肖 as phonetic; the sūtra writes it with 木 as 梢, which is incorrect).
