76.161

Hemp thread (纑綫; the first character is fanqie 魯 + 都. The Fangyan says: '纑 means continuous [hemp fiber].' Guo's commentary says: '纑 means hemp thread.' The Shuowen jiezi also says: 'Cloth thread. It takes 糸 as semantic classifier and 盧 as phonetic.' 糸 is pronounced 覓. The second character is fanqie 仙 + 廌. The sūtra text writes it with 延 as 綖, pronounced 延, which does not convey the meaning intended by the scripture).
