52.148

櫨鎟 (Fanqie: 力都 [lì + dū]. The Shuowen says: 'The bracket-arm atop a pillar is called 櫨, meaning the square timber at the end of a pillar.' A 櫨斗. The Shiming says: '櫨 means holding up the entire roof (dulu).' The sūtra text writes it with the metal radical as 鑪, which is not the standard form. The second character should properly be 磉, fanqie: 桑朗 [sāng + lǎng]. The Shuowen says: '磉 is the stone beneath a pillar, that is, the pillar foundation (礎).' The sūtra text writes it with the metal radical as 鎟, which is an error. 礎 is pronounced 楚 [chǔ].)
