𤉢馬(上祥養反山海經云禱過之山多犀[象-(豕-一)+(焉-正)]郭璞曰獸之最大者也色或青或白長鼻似豕大者牙長一丈小者猶長五尺此獸性妒說文云三歲一乳象形字也)。

𤉢馬 (Xiàngmǎ, elephants and horses: the upper character has the fanqie Xiang-yang [xiàng]. The Shanhai jing says: 'The Daoguo Mountains have many rhinoceroses and elephants.' Guo Pu says: 'The largest of beasts; its colour is sometimes bluish or white; it has a long snout resembling a pig; the large ones have tusks one zhang long, while the small ones are still five chi long. This beast is jealous by nature.' The Shuowen says: 'It gives birth once every three years. It is a pictographic character').
