若蠅（翼繒反說文蟲之大腹者生膽轉化為蠅有數種別膽音七余反從肉旦聲也）。

Like a fly (若蠅): Has the fanqie *yì* + *zēng* (蠅). The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'An insect with a large abdomen. It produces maggots (膽) that transform into flies. There are several kinds.' The character *dǎn* (maggot) has the fanqie *qī* + *yú*; it is derived from 肉 (flesh) with 旦 as phonetic.
