鎔鈞(上勇鍾反漢書音義云鎔錢之摸也說文冶器法銅屑之鎔也從金容聲下癸勻反說文云十斤曰鈞從金從勻聲勻音尹遵反)。

Mould and balance (鎔鈞: the first character is pronounced 勇 [yǒng] + 鍾 [zhōng] fanqie. The Hanshu yinyi says: '鎔 is a mould for casting coins.' The Shuowen says: 'A smelter's vessel, a mould for copper filings.' It takes 金 as semantic classifier and 容 as phonetic. The second character is pronounced 癸 [guǐ] + 勻 [yún] fanqie. The Shuowen says: 'Thirty pounds (jin) is called a 鈞.' It takes 金 as semantic classifier and 勻 as phonetic, 勻 being pronounced 尹 [yǐn] + 遵 [zūn] fanqie).
