| simp. (欃枪) | 欃 | 枪 | |
Etymology
Unclear. The form 欃槍 was the one preferred by the Erya (《爾雅》). The Han-era writer Sima Xiangru (2nd century BCE) used the word in a 賦 (“rhymed prose”), where both forms, 欃槍/攙搶, were attested in different editions of the same text.
- 攬欃槍以為旌兮，靡屈虹而為綢。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Sima Xiangru (司馬相如), 2nd century BCE. The Supreme One (《大人賦》).
- Lǎn chánchēng yǐ wéi jīng xī, mí qūhóng ér wéi tāo. [Pinyin]
- He grasps a comet to adorn his flag, and cuts off a rainbow arc as flagpole.
揽欃枪以为旌兮，靡屈虹而为绸。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
The Guangyun (《廣韻》) suggests an alliterative (雙聲) reading of the form 攙搶 (MC t͡ʃʰˠam t͡sʰɨɐŋ|t͡ʃʰɨɐŋX|t͡sʰɨɐŋX) < 攙搶 (OC *sʰraːm sʰaŋ/sʰaŋʔ/sʰraŋʔ), which is corroborated by the parallel alliteration of 屈虹 (MC kɨut̚ kˠʌŋH) < 屈虹 (OC *klud kroːŋs) at the matching position in the next line.
