Sharp sickle (利鐮: the second character has the fanqie 力 + 炎. The Qieyun says: "A reaping knife." The Shiming says: "Lian (鐮) means lian (廉, sharp edge); taken from its thin edge." Classified under the metal radical [金] with 廉 as phonetic, a phono-semantic character. The sūtra writing it with 兼 as 鎌 is a vulgar character).
