15.92

Piercing and chiseling (穿鑿: the first character is pronounced 川. The Shuowen says: "穿 means to pierce through; it takes 牙 inside 穴, an associative compound." The second character has the fanqie 藏鶴. The Kaosheng says: "A woodworking tool." The Shuowen says: "Used to bore wood. It is composed of 金 and 丵, with 臼 below, alongside 殳 and 金." The sūtra text writes 鑿, which is an error. 丵 has the fanqie 鋤學; 臼 is pronounced 舊; 殳 is pronounced 殊; in ancient script it is written 𠬛).
