𧉳蛤（上彭項反下甘臘反呂氏春秋云蚌𧊧陰蟲也月望則蚌蛤實月晦則蚌𧊧虛相感也說文作𧊧而有三種皆生於海𧊧厲千歲雀所化秦謂之牡厲海𧊧乃百歲鷰之所化魁𧊧一名復螺老復翼所化也從虫合聲經文作蛤亦一也）。

𧉳蛤 (The upper character is pronounced bang4 [peng-xiang fan]. The lower character is pronounced ge2 [gan-la fan]. The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'Clams and oysters are yin creatures. When the moon is full, clams and oysters are full; when the moon is dark, clams and oysters are empty: they resonate with each other.' The Shuowen jiezi writes 𧊧, and there are three types, all born in the sea: the oyster of a thousand years transformed from a sparrow, which Qin calls the male oyster; the sea-clam transformed from a hundred-year-old swallow; and the kui clam, another name for the conch, transformed from an old bat. Formed from 'insect' (虫) with 合 as phonetic. The sūtra text writes 蛤, which is the same).
