Tips
culture
猪八戒 (Pigsy) in 《西游记》 fights with a nine-toothed 钉耙, and the rake is his mark. The idiom 倒打一耙, turning the blame back on the accuser, borrows his move of striking backwards with it.
usage
耙 is read pá here, the same as the verb 'to rake'. Read bà, 耙 is a harrow, the heavier tool dragged across a field to break up the soil.
