說文解字 - Shuowen: 《臼部》臿舂去麥皮也。从臼，干所以臿之。

康熙字典文字版 【未集下】【臼字部】臿
【唐韻】楚洽切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】測洽切，𠀤音插。【說文】舂去麥皮也。【博雅】臿，舂也。　又與插同。【史記·司馬相如傳】赤瑕駁犖，雜臿其閒。　又與鍤同。【史記·始皇本紀】禹身自持築臿。【註】臿，築牆杵也。【前漢·溝洫志】舉臿爲雲，決渠爲雨。【註】臿，鍫也，所以開渠者也。【淮南子·精神訓】今夫繇者，揭钁臿，負龍土。【註】臿，鏵也。靑州謂之鏵，有刃也。三輔謂之𨬞。【揚子·方言】江淮南楚之閒謂之臿，沅湘之閒謂之畚。　又【韻會】或作接。【周禮·地官·廩人】大祭祀，共其接盛。【註】接讀爲扱。扱以授舂人舂之也。【正字通】扱以授舂人舂之，非與臿同也。韻會誤。
