虎兕(上呼古反說文山獸之君也從虍足似人足故下從人下音似說文云獸也如野牛青色象形與禽离頭同止觀從犬作𱮃非)。

虎兕 (the upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 呼古 [hu + gu]. The Shuowen states: 'The ruler of mountain beasts; formed from radical 虍, its feet resemble human feet, hence formed with 人 below.' The lower character is pronounced 似 [si]. The Shuowen states: 'A wild beast resembling a wild buffalo, bluish in colour; a pictograph, with a head like that of 禽 and 离.' In the Zhiguan it is written with radical 犬 as 𱮃, which is incorrect).
