Cording arrow and tether (矰繳: the first character is zé + sēng fanqie [zēng]. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Attaching a tethering line to an arrow is called a 矰." The character 矰 has the arrow radical, or sometimes the feather radical as 䎖. In a 矰, of seven parts, three are in front and four in back. The Shuowen says: "It has the arrow radical, with 曾 as phonetic." The second character is zhāng + ruò fanqie [zhuó]. Gu Yewang says: "繳 is the gear for an arrow with a cord." The Shuowen says: "繳 is raw silk thread; it has the silk radical, with 敫 as phonetic." 敫 is pronounced like 藥 [yào]; it is also written as 𦅾. 糸 is mì; 縷 is lóng + zhǔ fanqie [lǚ]).
