榱梠 (rafters and eaves): The first character is the fanqie 率 (sh-) + 追 (zhuī) [shuī]. Guo's commentary on the Erya says: "榱 means roof rafter (chuán)." The Shuowen jiezi says: "In Qin it was called roof rafter (wuchuán), the people of Zhou called it 榱, while Qi and Lu called it 桷. Today the people of Chu also call it juézi." The second character is pronounced lǚ; Guo's commentary on the Fangyan says: "梠 means roof eaves." The Shuowen jiezi says: "A lintel; also called continuous eaves." Now in the region of Qin it is called 'connected eaves' (liányán); calling it 梠 is the Chu dialect. It is also commonly called chuánlǚ (rafters and eaves).
