牀[爿*((┤*├)/由/八)] (The first character has the fanqie 士莊 [chuáng]. The Kaosheng states: 'It is a couch or couch-bed.' It is also written as the popular character 床, which is interchangeable. The Shuowen states: 'Derived from 木 with 爿 as phonetic; 爿 has the sound 牆 [qiáng].' The second character has the fanqie 古皇 [guāng]. The Zishu states: 'The crosspiece of a couch', meaning the crossbeams. In the Vinaya text it is written as 桄, referring to the tree name guāngláng [areca or betel palm]; now in popular usage it is also used for the crossbeam of a couch.).
