持篲（上直之反說文云執持也從手寺聲下囚歲反爾雅釋草云葥王篲也郭注云似藜其樹可為掃篲也江東呼為落帚郭璞序云輒復擁篲清道也或作彗亦通律文從手作㨹非）。

Holding a broom (持篲: the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 直 and 之; the Shuowen says it means to grasp and hold; it takes the 'hand' radical and the phonetic 'shì'. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 囚 and 歲; the 'Explaining Plants' section of the Erya says 'jiān' is the king-broom plant; Guo's Commentary says it resembles pigweed, and its stalks can be made into sweeping brooms; in Jiangdong it is called a fallen-leaf broom; Guo Pu's preface says 'Then again holding a broom to clear the road'; it is also written interchangeably as 彗; the Vinaya text incorrectly writes it with the 'hand' radical as 㨹).
