Window lattice (窗櫺: the first character is pronounced *chu* + *shuang* [chuāng]. The *Shuowen jiezi* says: 'In a wall it is called a lattice window (牖); in a door it is called a window (窗).' It is also written as 鹵; both are pictographic characters. The transmitted text writes it as 窓, which is a popular character. 芻 is pronounced *ce* + *ju* [chù]. The second character is pronounced *li* + *ding* [líng]. The *Shuowen jiezi* says: '櫺 means the bars of a window lattice.' It is also written as 㯪. The transmitted text writes it as 櫺, which is incorrect).
