7.91

[巾*(冗-几+番)]鐸(上妨蕃反說文云旌旗總名也今幢旛旌旗之類也以五彩間錯懸於幢竿之上名曰旛旗下唐落反說文云大鈴也從金睪聲也軍法五人為伍五伍為兩兩司馬執鐸金鈴也)。

Banners and bells (旛鐸; first character fang + fan fanqie; the Shuowen says: "The general term for banners and flags." Today's dhvaja, patākā, pennants, and flags are of this kind; alternating five colors suspended atop a banner pole is called a fānqi. Second character tang + luo fanqie; the Shuowen says: "A large bell." It takes the metal radical (金) with yi (睪) phonetic. In military law, five men make a squad, and five squads make a platoon; the platoon commander holds the tuo, which is a metal bell.).
