銅鍼 (the second character is zhēn, fanqie 汁深 [zh- + -(sh)en]: The Guangya says: 'Zhēn means to pierce.' Gu Yewang says: 'A zhēn is that with which one joins things.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'That with which one sews.' It takes the metal semantic and xián (咸) phonetic. Sometimes written as 箴, or as 針. The word cì (刺) is pronounced qī [戚]).
