手爪(下側絞反左傳云以為腹心爪牙也說文手足甲也或作又象形經從手作抓非也)。

Claws of the hand (爪, the second character, has the fanqie phonetic spelling 側絞 [ce/jiao]. The Zuo zhuan says: 'Considering them as bosom and belly, claws and teeth.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The nails of the hands and feet; it is also written as 又, pictographic.' The sūtra writes it with the 手 radical as 抓, which is incorrect).
