尋緗(上似林反說文尋繹理也從几工彐從寸分理之會意字也轉注字也下想羊反釋名云緗素色繒也古今正字從糸相聲也)。

尋緗 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 似 [sì] + 林 [lín], [xín/xún]. The Shuowen says: "'Xún' means to unravel and arrange threads. It is an associative compound character and mutual-definition character (zhuanzhu) composed of 几, 工, 彐, and 寸 to divide and order threads." The second character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 想 [xiǎng] + 羊 [yáng], [xiāng]. The Shiming says: "'Xiāng' is light yellow-colored silk." The Gujin zhengzi says: "It takes 糸 [silk] as its radical and 相 as its phonetic component").
