34.135

Roll into a ball [摶若]: the first [character is pronounced with the fanqie] duo-luan (奪欒反). The Boya states: 'Tuán (摶) means to stick together.' Gu Yewang also says: 'To cause to adhere.' The Liji states: 'Do not roll rice into balls.' The Shuowen [jiezi] says it is formed from [the semantic component] shǒu (手, hand) and [the phonetic component] zhuān (專).
