Ball of food (摶食; fanqie: 徒 + 丸 [tuán]; the Shuowen says: "摶 means making round"; the Tongsu wen says: "Rolling round with the hands is called 摶", which is this; written 揣 in the Vinaya text; the Shuowen says: "揣 means measuring", fanqie: 都 + 果 [duǒ], which is used by northerners; also fanqie: 初 + 委 [chuǐ], which is used south of the Yangtze; 揣 is not the proper sense of the character here).
