鞭撻（上必綿反顧野王云鞭用革以朴罪人也說文從革便聲下他怛反孔注尚書云撻笞也鄭玄扶也古今正字從手達聲古文作撻論從草作靼音折非義也）。

Whipping and flogging (鞭撻: the upper character [鞭] is pronounced bi-mian fan; Gu Yewang says: "鞭 uses leather to strike offenders." The Shuowen says: "Takes 革 as semantic and 便 as phonetic." The lower character [撻] is pronounced ta-da fan; Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "撻 means to beat with a cane." Zheng Xuan says: "To assist." The Gujin zhengzi says: "Takes 手 as semantic and 達 as phonetic." Ancient script writes it as 撻. In the treatise it is written with 草 as 靼, pronounced zhe, which does not convey the meaning).
