錙銖 ('minute amounts / ounces and drams': the first character has the fanqie 滓師 [zǐ + shī]. Zheng's commentary to the Liji says: 'Eight liang make a 錙.' The Shuowen states that it is derived from 金 (metal) with 甾 as phonetic; 甾 is pronounced 淄. The second character has the sound 殊, derived from 金 (metal) with 朱 as phonetic. In the transmission text it is written as 淄洙, which are river names, and therefore incorrect).
