61.31

Punt-pole and oar (篙棹): The first character has the pronunciation of 高. Xu Shuzhong's commentary on the Huainanzi states that 篙 refers to the bamboo used to pole a boat, twenty feet long, or sometimes made of wood. The second character has the fanqie 宅 (zh-) plus 効 (-ao). The Fangyan states that an oar (檝) is called a 櫂; it is formed with the wood radical (木) and 卓, or also written 櫂 with 翟, with the same meaning; writing it with the hand radical (扌) is incorrect.
