豎匙(上殊主反上聲說文云豎立也文字典說從臤從豆省聲也有從立作竪俗字也豆音竹樹反下是支反方言匙匕也古今正字云飯乖也從匕是聲讀與時字同音)。

To set upright a spoon (豎匙): The first character has the fanqie 殊 (sh-) plus 主 (-u), a rising-tone character. The Shuowen jiezi says that 豎 means to stand upright. The Wenzidian shuo says that it is formed with 臤 and the abbreviated 豆 as the phonetic element; writing it with 立 as 竪 is a popular variant (豆 has the fanqie 竹 [zh-] plus 樹 [sh-]). The second character has the fanqie 是 (sh-) plus 支 (-i). The Fangyan states that 匙 means a spoon (匕). The Gujin zhengzi states that it means [a utensil for] serving rice; it is formed with 匕 and 是 as the phonetic element, pronounced the same as the character 時.
