Kūtì (刳剔, cut open and butcher; the upper [character] is pronounced kū; the Fangyan states: "Kū (刳) is just 𠜓 (disembowel/slaughter)." The Kaosheng states: "To slaughter and cut; to slice open and remove the contents inside." The Shuowen states: "To cleave"; it takes '刀' (knife) with '夸' as phonetic. The lower [character] has the fanqie [tīng + yì]; the Yunying states: "To separate bone [from meat]." The Kaosheng states: "To skin/strip." The Shangshu writes '𠜓', which is an ancient character. Both characters take '刀' and are phono-semantic characters).
