鈎闌（上苟侯反劉瓛注周易曰鈎而引之也說文曲也從金勾聲下嬾單反考聲闌以木遮門也傳從木作欄是木名也非本義也）。

Balustrade (鈎闌): the first character has the fanqie 苟侯 [gǒu]. Liu Huan's commentary on the Zhouyi states: '鈎 means to hook and draw forward.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Curved.' Composed of 金 ('metal') with 勾 phonophore. The second character has the fanqie 嬾單 [lán]. The Kaosheng states: 'A 闌 is a wooden screen at a door.' In transmission, written with the 木 ('wood') radical as 欄, which is the name of a tree and not the primary meaning.
