撚劫貝綫（上年典反撚劫貝綫者撚劫貝草花絮以為織縷綫也織為白㲲布也方言撚續也蒼頡篇縒綫也經而緯之織成㲲布）。

撚劫貝綫 (for the first character, the fanqie is 年 + 典. "Twisting karpāsa threads" means spinning the fluff from the flowers of the karpāsa plant into woven threads and weaving it into fine white cotton cloth (paṭa). The Fangyan says: "撚 means to join together." The Cang Jie Pian says: "It means twisting threads." Setting them as warp and woof, one weaves them into cotton cloth).
