3.96

Bar and lock (關鑰: the first character has the fanqie 古 + 還. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Using a horizontal piece of wood to hold a door is called guan." It is classified under the door radical [門] with 𢇇 as phonetic. The sūtra text writes 閞, pronounced bian (弁); the Erya says: "Guan (閞) is called ji (槉)," which is not the usage here. The second character has the fanqie 羊 + 斫. The Shuowen jiezi writes it as 𨷲, meaning the lock of a bar. Some write 籥, which is incorrect).
