Short coarse hemp-garment 短褐 (the first character is pronounced [端 + 管] *duǎn*; the bottom character is pronounced [寒 + 葛] *hé*. Xu Shuzhong [Xu Shen]'s commentary to the Huainanzi states: "The people of Chu call a robe a *duanhe* [short coarse coat]." The Shuowen says: "*Duan* [短] takes 矢 [arrow] as radical and 豆 as phonetic; *he* [褐] takes 衣 [clothing] as radical and 曷 as phonetic." In the anthology it is written with 木 as 梪, pronounced *dòu*. Guo [Puo]'s commentary to the Erya states: "*Dou* [梪] refers to a ritual vessel"; this does not fit the meaning in the anthology).
