甛美（上亭閻反考聲甘也說文美也從舌甘會意字也或作甜一也下眉鄙反說文味甘也從羊從大在音之中羊者給厨膳之大甘也故從羊從大會意字耳）。

> Sweet and pleasant (甛美: the upper character \[sweet (甛)\] is 亭 \[ting\] + 閻 \[yan\] \[tián\]. The Kaosheng says: 'Sweet.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Pleasant.' Composed of tongue (舌) and sweet (甘), an associative compound; it is also written as 甜, which is the same. The lower character \[pleasant / beautiful (美)\] is 眉 \[mei\] + 鄙 \[bi\] \[měi\]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Sweet in taste.' Composed of sheep (羊) and large (大). In terms of tone, sheep provided the greatest sweetness for kitchen meals; hence it is formed from sheep and large, an associative compound).
