糞鍋 (The first syllable is *fèn* [fen + wen fanqie]. The Shuowen jiezi says: "To discard and remove; it is formed with 'two hands' (拱) pushing the winnowing basket (華) to discard excrement. It is formed with 米, which is the ancient character for excrement (屎), resembling rice yet not being it. It is formed with 華, which is pronounced *pán*, belonging to the category of dustpans. It is formed with 廾, pronounced *gǒng*, meaning both hands." The Vinaya text writes it with 'rice' (米) and 異, which is a vulgar character. The second syllable is pronounced *guō* [gu + he fanqie]; it is also a vulgar character. The orthodox form is [一/(口*口)/(冏-口+干)], belonging to the class of cauldrons and kettles, a small footless cauldron. Referring to a 'dung cauldron' signifies the steaming heat, impurity, and filth of the womb, boiling like a cauldron).
