3.49

方牽 (*qǐ* + *jiān* [fanqie: qiān]; the Guangya says: "'Qiān' means to link together; to pull." The Shuowen jiezi says: "To draw forward; derived from 'mì', depicting the halter of an ox, and derived from 'niú' with 'xuán' as phonetic." 'Miàn' is *guǐ* + *yíng* [fanqie: gōng/jiōng]. The popular form with 'shǒu' and 'qù' as 牽 is incorrect. The ancient script writes it with 'shǒu' as 掔).
