27.602

Finger-nails (指爪): The fanqie is 側絞 [zhǎo]; they are the nails on the fingers. Some write it as 抓. The Yupian says: '抓 means to pinch or to scrape.' Using the nails to scratch an object is called 抓, pronounced 莊狡 [zhǎo], which does not mean finger-nails. The fanqie for 掐 [to pinch] is 苦合 [qiā].
