犁耬 (lí-lóu; fanqie: lì + xī [lí]. An implement for plowing fields. The second character has the fanqie: lǔ + hóu [lóu]. The Picang says: '耬 means to stretch out. In ancient times, people pulled it to stretch out the furrows; it is a tool for sowing seeds. Nowadays, oxen are used together to pull it.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It takes 耒 as semantic component and 婁 as phonetic component.' 耒 has the fanqie: lì + duì [lèi]; 輓 is pronounced wǎn.)
