挻埴（上式延反下時弋反御注老子云挺和也擊也說文從手延聲埴土也黏也陶匠和土為瓦缶之器也說文從土直聲論文從土作埏非也）。

Kneading clay [挻埴] (The upper character is 式 plus 延 fanqie; the lower character is 時 plus 弋 fanqie. The imperial commentary on the *Laozi* states: "挺 means to blend, to beat." The *Shuowen* has it with 'hand' [手] and 延 phonetic. 埴 is clay, sticky soil; potters blend clay to make earthenware vessels. The *Shuowen* has it with 'earth' [土] and 直 phonetic. In the treatise, writing it with 'earth' as 埏 is incorrect).
