耒耜（上雷兌反世本云古者垂作耒耜神農之臣也考聲云耒者今之犁牽也耜上曲木也從丰木丰音介耜音似考聲若今之鏵鍫而有柄曲刃似犁鏵稻田中見用說文耜從耒從[耜-耒][耜-耒]古文以字上口不合即是又作㭒鈻三體）。

耒耜 (The first character is *l-d-. The Shiben says: "In antiquity, Chui invented the plow and plowshare; he was a minister under Shennong." The Kaosheng says: "The lěi is what is nowadays the plow handle; the curved wood above the plowshare. Formed from 丰 and 木." 丰 is pronounced jiè. 耜 is pronounced sì. The Kaosheng says: "It is like modern spade shovels with a handle and curved blade, resembling a plowshare, used in paddy fields." The Shuowen jiezi says: "耜 is formed from 耒 with [耜-耒]. [耜-耒] is the ancient character for 以; the upper opening does not close, so it is this." It is also written in three forms: 㭒 and 鈻.)
