須鐮 (the first character is *si* combined with *zhu* [fanqie: si-zhu]; the Shuowen states that it is formed with 彡 and 頁. Gu Yewang says: “The character 須 meaning ‘what is needed’ or ‘to wait’ is written with 彡; written with 水 [氵], it is 須 and pronounced *hui*. Popular usage has employed it for a long time now, so it is temporarily followed here.” The second character is *lian* combined with *yan* [fanqie: lian-yan]; the Kaosheng says: “A 鎌 is an implement used to reap things.” The Fangyan says: “To reap with a hook.” The Shuowen says: “A sickle.” It is formed with 金 with 兼 as its phonetic component; sometimes written as 鐮, which is also interchangeable; 𠚸 is pronounced *gou* [hook]).
