Hare-traps and fish-baskets (蹏: fanqie 第泥 [tí], the orthodox form. Wang Bi says: "The snare is that by which one captures hares; once the hare is obtained, one forgets the snare." Gu Yewang says: "An implement for catching hares." The Shuowen jiezi states: "Composed of 足 ('foot') with 虒 phonetic." The lower graph is pronounced in the fanqie 七緣 [quán]. Zhuangzi says: "The basket is that by which one catches fish; once the fish is obtained, one forgets the basket." Gu Yewang says: "A bamboo hamper for catching fish." The Wenzi dianshuo states: "Composed of 竹 ('bamboo') with 全 phonetic." 虒 has the same pronunciation as above. Collected editions write 蹄, which has long been in general use).
