弓矢 (The first character is pronounced 居 + 戎 fanqie. The Shiming says: 'Gong [bow] means qiong [vaulted], meaning arched and vaulted.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A pictographic character.' The second character is also written 矢 or 笑; both are pronounced 式 + 是 fanqie. The Shiben says: 'Yi Mou, in the time of the Yellow Emperor, invented the arrow').
