31.13

蚊蜹(上勿分反俗字也正從䖵作蟁說文云囓人飛蟲子也下蕤銳反國語蜹蛾蜂蠆皆能害人也顧野王曰今有蟲蜹善囓人俗謂之含毒此即蟲也)。

Wenrui 蚊蜹 (the first syllable is read with the fanqie 勿分; it is a vulgar character; the standard form is written with 䖵 as 蟁. The Shuowen says: "Small flying insects that bite humans." The second syllable is read with the fanqie 蕤銳. The Guoyu says: "Mosquitoes (蜹), moths, bees, and scorpions are all capable of harming people." Gu Yewang says: "Nowadays there is an insect called 蜹 that bites humans well, colloquially called 'holding poison'; this is that insect").
