76.32

掣网 (for the first character, fanqie: 昌 + 熱; for the second character, fanqie: 武 + 昉). Gu Yewang says: '网 is a snare; nets and snares are called luowang.' The Kaosheng says: 'To detain or catch.' The Shuowen says: 'What Baoxi knitted with cords to hunt and fish with; it takes its form from 冂 with the shape of net mesh underneath.' The sound of 冂 is fanqie: 冥 + 狄. The scripture writing [同-(一/口)+((又*又)/(匚@一))] is an ancient form.
