枝榦（于岸反王逸注楚辭云幹體也廣雅本也字書亦枝也文字曲說木枝榦榦也從木倝聲倝音同上論作擀木名也非此義或作幹）。

Branches and trunk (枝榦: the second character has the fanqie 于岸; Wang Yi's Commentary on the Songs of Chu says: '幹 means trunk/body.' The Guangya says: 'Trunk/root.' The character dictionaries also say: 'Branch.' The Wenziqu shuo says: 'The branches and trunk of a tree; it means trunk. It is formed from [the semantic component] "tree/wood" (木) and has 倝 as phonetic'—倝 being pronounced the same as above. In the treatise it is written as 擀, which is the name of a tree and does not fit this meaning; it is also written as 幹).
