66.43

Four yokes (四軶; the lower character [軶] is fanqie 鸎格. The text of the treatise writes 軶, which is a popular form. Zheng's commentary on the Kaogongji says: 'It refers to the wood at the end of the carriage shaft that presses down upon the ox's neck.' The Shuowen says: 'The yoke (軶) is the wood in front of the carriage shafts.' It is composed with 'cart' (車) as semantic and 戹 as phonetic. The sound of 戹 is the same as above).
