[(黍*ㄉ)/牛]轅 (The first character has the fanqie 禮蹄. The Yupian says: "The plowshare iron for cattle plowing." The Hanshu says: "To recruit poor people and lend them plowshares, plow-oxen, and seeds." The Shuowen says: "To plow. Derived from 'ox', with the archaic form of 約 [利] as phonetic." The character [(黍-(企-止))*ㄉ] is composed of 黍 and 刀, the latter being the archaic form of the character 刀. The lower character is pronounced 𡊮. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "The zhou [chariot pole], fanqie 張溜, is the yuan [shaft]." The Fangyan says: "Between Chu and Wei, the shaft is called zhou." The Shuowen says: "The shaft is the zhou. Derived from 'carriage' with 𡊮 as phonetic." The meaning of [(黍-(企-止))*ㄉ]/牛 can be understood by analogy with the chariot shaft; it is a Chu regional word).
