[edit]Does this Shuowen passage indicate that 禁 was formerly used as a synonym for 珡?

- 8362 珡部: 珡：禁也。神農所作。洞越。練朱五弦，周加二弦。象形。凡珡之屬皆从珡。

- It seems to be the other way around: 珡 used to mean "禁". Looking at the Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants (教育部異體字字典), A02583-001, I wonder if 禁 is supposed to be 琴. —suzukaze (t・c) 02:48, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
