Belt-ring and knob (玦㺲: [玦 is pronounced] with the fanqie *ju* + *xue* [jué]. The *Zuozhuan* says: 'When metal is cold, the ring separates.' Du Yu says: 'A *jue* is like a jade ring, but its slit does not join.' 㺲 is sometimes written as 鈕, pronounced with the fanqie *nü* + *jiu* [niǔ]. The *Guangya* states: 'The knob (㺲) of a seal is called its nose.' The current case resembles this.).
