Awl and saw (錐鋸: the upper character has the sound zhuī; Zuo zhuan says: "The point of an awl or knife." Thus Shiji says: "An awl is not placed in a pouch; its tip would instantly show." Shuowen says: "A sharp object; derived from 金 [metal] with 隹 as phonetic." The lower is jū + yù [jù]; Jia Kui's commentary on Guoyu says: "鋸斷 refers to the capital punishment of castration." Cang Jie pian says: "That is, a saw that cuts objects." Shuowen: "Derived from 金 [metal] with 居 as phonetic.").
