板片 (wooden planks; the former is ban/jian fan; Jixun says: 'Splitting wood with a saw produces planks'; Shuowen jiezi writes it with radical 片 as 板, meaning split wood; the sūtra uses radical 木, which is a vulgar character but also accepted; the latter is pian/bian fan; Cang Jie Pian says: '片 means split wood'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'The character for half a log').
