嬰兒（上益盈反蒼頡篇云女孩曰嬰男孩曰兒釋名初生曰嬰兒𦙄前曰嬰言接之嬰前乳養也鄭注禮記云嬰者嫛兒也說文從女賏聲賏音同上嫛音伊兮反也）。

嬰兒 (yīng ér: the upper is yì-yíng fanqie. The Cangjie pian says: 'A female child is called yīng; a male child is called ér.' The Shiming says: 'A newborn is called yīng'ér; before the breast is called yīng, meaning held close to the front of the breast to be nursed.' Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: 'Yīng means an infant (yī'ér).' The Shuowen says it is derived from 女 (woman) with 賏 as phonetic. The sound of 賏 is the same as above; the sound of 嫛 is yī-xī fanqie).
