鐵槍 ('iron spear': the second character has the fanqie 鵲羊 [què + yáng]. Character dictionaries take the form written with 木 as the orthodox character. The Cangjie pian says: 'A 槍 is wood sharpened at both ends.' The Wenzi dianshuo says: 'A 槍 is a defensive weapon. It is derived from 木 (wood) with 倉 as phonetic.' In the transmission text it is written with 金 as 鎗, which is incorrect).
