鉗鑷(上儉嚴反合作鈷說文云䥫夾也鉆取物者也經文作鉗乃小兒䥫枷也下黏輙反合作銸說文云銸亦小鉆也從金耴聲耴音同上經文從聶作鑷車下䥫纂也二字皆非經義)。

Pincers and tweezers (鉗鑷: the first character has the fanqie 儉 + 嚴; it should properly be written 鈷. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Iron tongs, an instrument for grasping objects." The sūtra text writes 鉗, which refers to an iron cangue for children. The second character has the fanqie 黏 + 輙; it should properly be written 銸. The Shuowen jiezi says: "She is also a small pincers." It takes the metal radical [金] with 耴 as phonetic; 耴 has the same sound as above. In the sūtra text, writing it with 聶 as 鑷 refers to an iron clamp beneath a carriage. Neither character fits the sūtra's meaning).
