鈇質（上甫無反又音甫公羊傳云不忍加之鈇質之刑何休注云斬𭦫刑也蒼頡篇云鈇椹也禮記云軍旅鈇鉞先王所以飾怒也又諸侯賜鈇鉞然後殺也古今正字從金夫聲下真栗反）。

鈇質 ('chopping block and axe'): For the first character, the fanqie is [f- + u >] fǔ and [w- + u >] wú; it is also pronounced fǔ. The Gongyang zhuan says: 'He could not bear to apply the punishment of the chopping block and axe.' He Xiu's commentary says: 'The punishment of execution by beheading.' The Cang Jie pian says: 'A 鈇 is an executioner's block.' The Classic of Rites says: 'In the army, the axe and broadaxe were what the former kings used to demonstrate wrath.' Furthermore, only after a feudal lord was conferred the axe and broadaxe could he execute. The Gujin zhengzi says: 'Composed of 金 with 夫 phonetic.' The second character has the fanqie [zh- + en >] zhēn and [l- + i >] lì.
