鎔消 (for the first character, fanqie: 瑜 + 鐘). The Book of Han says: 'Like metal in the casting mould, melted and cast only as the foundry shapes it.' The Sounds and Meanings says: '鎔 means a coin mould.' The Shuowen says: 'The model for casting smelting tools.' It takes its semantic classifier from 金 (metal) and 容 is its phonetic.
