矛矟 (for the first character, [máo], fanqie 莫侯 [m- + -əu = məu/máo]. The Lüshi chunqiu says: “Chiyou made lances.” The Kaosheng says: “A qiú-lance is of the dagger-axe class.” The Shuowen says: “A lance is twenty feet long, mounted on war chariots.” Some write it with the vulgar character 鉾.

The Boya says: “矟 is also a lance.” The Gujin zhengzi says: “A lance is eighteen feet long.” The Wenzidian says: “It is the halberd-lance (戟矟) of today.” Some write it as 槊 or 㮶; neither is the standard character.)
