鉆鋷(上儉嚴反說文云鐵銸夾取物也從金占聲經文從苷作鉗乃小兒鐵枷也非夾取義下黏輙反說文鋷亦鉆也攝也從金取聲也取音同上經文從三耳作鑷車下鐵纂非本字)。

Pincers and tongs (鉆鋷: the first character has the fanqie 儉嚴 [qiān]. The Shuowen says: "Iron tongs used to grip and take things." It is formed from 金 (metal) with 占 as the phonetic component. In the sūtra text it is written with 苷 as 鉗, which refers to a child's iron cangue; it does not have the meaning of gripping and taking. The second character has the fanqie 黏輙 [niè]. The Shuowen says that 鋷 is also a pincher (鉆) or grasper (攝). It is formed from 金 (metal) with 取 as the phonetic component. 取 has the same pronunciation as above. In the sūtra text it is written with three 耳 (ears) as 鑷, an iron fitting under a carriage; it is not the original character).
