饕餮（上音滔下音䥫杜注左傳云貪財為饕貪食為餮古今正字並從食號[(餐-食)-又+(珍-王)]皆聲也）。

饕餮 (tāo tiè: the upper has the sound tāo; the lower has the sound tiè. Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: 'Coveting wealth is tāo; coveting food is tiè.' In the Gujin zhengzi, both are derived from 食 (food), with 號 and 餮 [its upper component] respectively as phonetics).
