The *Shuowen* states: "桎 is an instrument for the feet, by which one is restrained to the earth; 梏 is an instrument for the hands, by which one is restrained to heaven; both have their radical on the left and phonetic on the right." Zheng Xuan states: "Applying a name to the 梏 refers to writing the name, surname, and crime upon the handcuffs and wearing them").
