Spokes and rim (輻𨊾: the upper character has the fanqie *fāng* + *liù* [fú]; character glossaries say, "The spokes of a cart." The *Daodejing* says, "Thirty spokes converge on one hub, but on that non-being relies the utility of the wheel." The lower character has the fanqie *wén* + *liǎng* [wǎng]; the *Qieyun* says, "The felloe of a wheel." The *Shuowen* says both characters are categorized under "cart", with abbreviated *fú* and *wǎng* as their phonetics).
