劒戟 (swords and halberds: the second character is pronounced 京 + 逆 fanqie; the Shenglei says, "The halberd is a weapon"; Zheng's commentary to the Liji says, "It is the three-bladed halberd of today"; the Zhouli states, "The halberd is six feet in length"; Guo's commentary to the Fangyan says, "Present-day halberds with a small barb in the middle are called male halberds"; the Shuowen jiezi says it is derived from 戈 and 倝; the transmitted text simplifies it to 戟, which is a vulgar character; 倝 is pronounced 古 + 旦 fanqie).
