小毱（窮六反亦作毬並俗字也今俗呼音之者諸字書並无毬字正作鞠考聲云以囊盛糠而蹋云謂之蹴鞠說文蹋鞠也從革匊聲或作𥷥[匊/牛]音巨六反）。

小毱 ('small ball'): [毱 is pronounced] with the fanqie 窮六. It is also written as 毬, both being popular forms. As for those who pronounce it in contemporary colloquial usage, none of the character dictionaries have the character 毬; the standard form is 鞠. The Kaosheng says: 'Filling a pouch with chaff and kicking it is called cuju (kicking the ball).' The Shuowen says: 'Treading and kicking a ball. It takes 革 (leather) as semantic component and 匊 as phonetic component.' It is also written as 𥷥 or [匊/牛], which is pronounced with the fanqie 巨六.
