錙銖(上滓師反下樹朱反鄭注禮記云八兩為錙許注淮南子云十二粟而重一分十二分為一銖說文云錙六銖也銖權分十黍六重也二字竝從金甾朱皆聲也甾音同上)。

Trifling amounts 錙銖 (the upper has the fanqie zi-shi [t͡sɨ], the lower has the fanqie shu-zhu [d͡ʑɨu]. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: “Eight liang make a zi.” Xu's commentary on the Huainanzi says: “Twelve grains of millet weigh one fen, and twelve fen make one zhu.” The Shuowen jiezi says: “A zi is six zhu; a zhu is a weight division of ten grains of millet, six times over.” Both characters are derived from radical 金 [metal], with 甾 and 朱 being their respective phonetics. 甾 has the same sound as above).
