14.92

狐𧲪（上音胡野干之類也說文妖獸也鬼所乘下何各說文云似狐而小善睡也經中從大作狢字也說文古今正字典說並從舟作貈[(王*匆)/心]誤也正體從亢亢音各當反考聲亦作[豸*兄]足為憑據或有作貉亦通）。

狐𧲪 (The upper character is pronounced hu2: a type of jackal. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A bewitching beast, ridden by ghosts.' The lower character is pronounced he2 [he-ge fan]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Resembles a fox but smaller; fond of sleeping.' In the sūtra it is written as 狢 with 'big' (大). The Shuowen jiezi, Gujin zhengzi, and Dianlun all write it as 貈 with 'boat' (舟), which is an error. The standard form has 亢; 亢 is pronounced he2 [ge-dang fan]. The Kaosheng also writes it as [豸*兄], which provides evidence; some also write 貉, which is also acceptable).
