巢窟（上士交反鄭箋詩云鵲之作巢冬至架功至春乃成也鄭注考工記云巢猶高也說文鳥在木上曰巢從木象形也經作巢俗字也下卩骨反杜注左傳云窟地室也顧野王云冬則居營窟是也聲類云窟兔所伏也說文從穴屈聲或作𩨳又作堀音同上）。

[Nest and burrow] (The first character has the fanqie of 士 [dz-] and 交 [-au]: Zheng's commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* says, "A magpie's making of a nest begins building at the winter solstice and is completed by spring." Zheng's commentary on the *Kaogongji* says, "'Cháo' (巢) is like 'high'." The *Shuowen jiezi* says, "Birds on a tree are called 'cháo'. It is formed from 'tree' (木) and is pictographic." The sūtra writes it as 巢, which is a vulgar character. The second character has the fanqie of 卩 [k-] and 骨 [-uet]: Du's commentary on the *Zuozhuan* says, "A 'kū' (窟) is an underground chamber." Gu Yewang says, "Living in hollowed-out caves in winter is an example of this." The *Shenglei* says, "A 'kū' is a place where rabbits lie hidden." The *Shuowen jiezi* says, "It is formed from 'cave' (穴) and the 'qū' (屈) phonetic." It is also written as 𩨳 or 堀, pronounced the same as above).
