縫縷 ('sewing threads'): For the first character, the fanqie is [f- + u >] fú and [m- + eng >] méng. The Rites of Zhou says: 'The female attendants manage tailoring and sewing.' The Shuowen says: '縫 means to mend and stitch clothes with a needle. Composed of 糸 with 逢 phonetic.' For the second character, the fanqie is [l- + i >] lì and [zh- + u >] zhǔ. Guo Pu's commentary on the Erya says: '縷 means connecting and holding together.' The Shuowen says: '縷 is like thread (綫). Composed of 糸 with 婁 phonetic.' 綫 has the fanqie [x- + ian >] xiān and [j- + ian >] jiàn.
