49.144

持綫 [holding a thread] (x- + [j]ian [-> xian], departing tone. Zheng Zhong's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "綫 means thread." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Composed with 糸 [silk] and 戔 as phonetic." 戔 is pronounced [c]an, composed of two repeated 戈 [halberd]. In the treatise it is written as 線, a vulgar character and not the orthodox form).
