羂冈 (upper: *kwet* + *yen* [juàn]: The *Kaosheng* says: '罥 means to catch things using a rope.' The *Wenzidian shuo* says: 'Follows the net radical with the phonetic *xuān* (𰮄).' The sūtra writes 羂, which is identical. Lower: *mwang* + *pjang* [wǎng]: Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the *Liji* says: 'A bird net is called a 冈.' Gu Yewang says: '冈 is the collective term for traps and nets.' The *Yijing* says: 'In ancient times, Baoxi knotted ropes to make traps and nets, teaching the people to hunt and fish.' The *Wenzidian shuo* says: 'It follows the radical 冂, depicting below it the intersecting lines of a net').
