輦輿(上力展反說文云人輓車也在前人引之形從㚘音伴二夫也古者卿大夫亦乘輦自秦漢以來天子乘之玉篇云天子皇后所乘曰輦下余據與居二反說文云車輿也玉篇眾載也又舉也一曰車無輪曰輿從車舁會意字律文中作轝非)。

Hand-drawn carriage and palanquin (輦輿: the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 力 and 展; the Shuowen says it is a cart pulled by humans; it has the form of people leading it in front; it is derived from 㚘, pronounced 'bàn', meaning two men; in ancient times ministers and grand masters also rode in 'niǎn'; from the Qin and Han onward, only the Son of Heaven rode in them; the Yupian says that what the Son of Heaven and Empress ride in is called a 'niǎn'. The second character has the two fanqie [pronunciations with the initials and finals of] 余 and 據, and 與 and 居; the Shuowen says it is a carriage frame; the Yupian says it means to carry many, or to raise up; another authority says that a carriage without wheels is called a 'yú'; it takes the 'cart' radical and 'yú' (to raise together), being an associative compound; written as 轝 in the Vinaya text, which is incorrect).
