Or pinch (或掐) (ku + qia fan. The Wenzi jilüe says: "Fingernails." The Wenzidian shuo says: "To scratch or pinch with fingers. Composed with 'hand' [手] semantic and 臽 phonetic; 臽 is pronounced xian; the character 臽 has 'person' [人] above and 臼 below, representing being inside a mortar; 臼 is pronounced jiu." In the scripture it is written with 'claw' [爪] as 搯, which is erroneous).
