繩棬 (Rope basket/loop: for the first character, fanqie 食陵 [shéng], the Qieyun says: 'A cord; also straight.' The Shangshu says: 'Wood following the chalk-line becomes straight.' For the second character, fanqie 丘員 [quān], the Qieyun says: 'A vessel resembling a peck, formed by bending bamboo.' In our case, 繩棬 means using rope to form a basket-like loop for hanging things. The vinaya text writes 𢃩, which is the same as 𱻄, meaning slight confusion.)
