舌舐（上善熱反說文云舌在口中所以言也從千從口千亦聲也下食爾反俗字也說文云舐者以舌取物也從舌氏聲正作舓經從口作𭇇非也考聲或作狧舐𦧇咶五體並古字也出諸史籍）。

Licking with the tongue (舌舐) (the first character is fanqie: 善 + 熱; the Shuowen says: "The tongue inside the mouth, by which one speaks; it is classified under 千 and 口, where 千 is also phonetic." The second character is fanqie: 食 + 爾, a popular form; the Shuowen says: "舐 means to take up things with the tongue; it is classified under 舌 with 氏 as phonetic; the standard form is 舓." The scripture writes it with 口 as 𭇇, which is incorrect. The Kaosheng notes that it is alternatively written as 狧, 舐, 𦧇, or 咶—all five forms being ancient characters found across historical records).
