鑽𤎩 (The first character is *z-g-. Gu Yewang says: "鑽 means to chisel and bore." The Kaosheng says: "To pierce." Mengzi uses it as to hole into. The Gujin zhengzi says: "To bore through; a phono-semantic character." The second character is pronounced suì. Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: "An implement for obtaining fire. There are five kinds altogether: fire drill, fire flint, fire pearl, fire mirror, and fire steel." In antiquity it was written as 㸂, 鐆, 檖, and 鐩; all five forms are interchangeable.)
