The \*Shuowen\* writes it as 爪. The sūtra text writes it with the hand radical as 抓 (\*zhāo\*, 側交反 \[t͡ʃˠau\]), which is incorrect. The tip of a finger is a "claw" (爪); below the fingers is the "palm" (掌). In the \*Shuowen\*, the character 掌 has the fanqie 爪 (i.e. reversed 爪 is 爪). - [Previous: 12.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12.166) - [Next: 12.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12.168) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12) ## Linked texts (1) - [一切經音義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.12.167) — 慧琳, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.12.167) · Pramāṇa
