鐵槍(下鵲羊反字書正從木作槍倉頡篇云槍木銳兩頭也文字典說云槍拒也兵器也從木倉聲也傳文從金作鎗非也)。

鐵槍 ('iron spear': the second character has the fanqie 鵲羊 [què + yáng]. Character dictionaries take the form written with 木 as the orthodox character. The Cangjie pian says: 'A 槍 is wood sharpened at both ends.' The Wenzi dianshuo says: 'A 槍 is a defensive weapon. It is derived from 木 (wood) with 倉 as phonetic.' In the transmission text it is written with 金 as 鎗, which is incorrect).
