Bridles and reins (韁𱺍: the first character has the pronunciation 薑 [jiāng]. The second character has the pronunciation 祕 [bì]. Gu Yewang says: "The bridle and reins used to control and drive carriage horses." In the Shuowen it is a phono-semantic character. The character 𱺍 is formed from 絲 (silk) and 𨊥, which has the pronunciation 衛 [wèi]; it is an ideogrammatic compound. Some write it with 口 (mouth) and 亡 (perish), which is incorrect).
