5.15

Cleaving to make (剖為): [The first character is read with the] fanqie 普 + 口. The Cangjie pian says: '剖 means to split (㭊, read like 昔).' Du [Yu]'s commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: 'To divide through the middle is called 剖.' The Shuowen says: 'It derives from 刀 and 咅 (咅 is read with the fanqie 土 + 口).'
