犀角(上洗賚反郭注爾雅云犀似牛猪頭大腹卑脚色黑三角好食棘說文云從牛尾省經作犀俗字也)。

犀角 [Rhinoceros horn] (The upper character is fanqie 洗 + 賚 [xī]. Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'The rhinoceros resembles an ox with a pig's head, a large belly, short legs, black coloration, three horns, and a fond appetite for thorns.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It has the radical 牛 with the tail abbreviated.' In the scripture it is written as 犀, which is a vulgar form).
