關鍵 (Bar and bolt: the first [guan has] the fanqie 古還; the Shuowen jiezi says: 'Using wood to hold doors and gates shut.' It is formed with the gate radical 門 and 𢇇 (fanqie 古還) as phonetic. The Yupian says: 'What is nowadays called a door crossbar.' In the sūtra text, writing it with bian 弁 as 閞, pronounced bian 弁, is incorrect. The second [jian has] the fanqie 渠彥; Zheng Zhong's commentary to the Zhouli says: 'Key and bolt.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Jian means a cross-bolt [xuan 鉉, pronounced xuan 縣].' It is formed with the metal radical 金 and jian 建 as phonetic; it is also written as 闥, or with the wood radical 木 as 楗, which are identical. The Fangyan says: 'From the Pass eastward it is called jian 鍵; from the Pass westward it is called yue 鑰; a yue is a bolt pin').
