說文解字 - Shuowen: 《金部》鍪鍑屬。从金敄聲。

康熙字典文字版 【戌集上】【金字部】鍪
【唐韻】莫浮切【集韻】迷浮切【正韻】莫侯切，𠀤音謀。【說文】鍑也。　又【廣韻】兜鍪，首鎧。【書·說命·惟甲冑起戎註】冑，兜鍪也。【釋文】鍪，莫侯反。【韻會】譌作䥐。　又【正韻】冠卷。【荀子·禮論篇】冠有鍪而無縱。　又【集韻】莫𠋫切，音茂。【博雅】釜也。　又【韻補】叶蒙晡切，音模。【急就章】弓弩箭矢鎧兜鍪，鐵棰撾杖梲柲殳。殳音殊。　【正字通】兜鍪，形似釜而反脣，非炊具。說文長箋云：軍士以首鎧爲炊具，故曰兜。兜爲冑名，鍪則釜名，一物兼二義。按軍伍鐎斗，晝炊夜擊，未有以首鎧炊者。凡被圍，糧匱援絕，煮弩鎧，食筋革，皆勢窮使然，非軍士例用首鎧爲炊也。箋說誤。
