摶食（上徒鸞反杜注左傳云摶手摶也考聲云摶令相著也文字典說云圜也從手專聲論文從耑作揣是揣量字非手摶義也揣音初委反）。

摶食 (The first character has the fanqie pronunciation 徒 + 鸞 [tuán]. Du [Yu's] commentary on the Zuozhuan says that 摶 means 'to shape with the hands'. The Kaosheng says that 摶 means 'to make adhere together'. The Wenzidian shuo says it means 'round'; it has the radical 手 with 專 as phonetic. In the treatise text it is written with 端 abbreviated as 揣, which is the character for estimating [chuǎi], not having the meaning of shaping by hand; 揣 has the fanqie pronunciation 初 + 委).
