鱗介（栗珍反鄭注周禮云鱗謂魚龍之屬也說文鱗者魚龍甲也從魚粦聲粦音恡經文從鹿作麟是瑞獸也非經義傳寫誤也下皆械反鄭注周禮云龜鼈之屬水居陸產者也說文從八從人）。

Scaled and shelled (鱗介: the first character has the sound l- [栗] + -ín [珍] fanqie. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'Scales refers to the class of fish and dragons.' The Shuowen says: 'Scales are the armor of fish and dragons; formed from the fish radical (魚) with lín (粦) as phonetic; 粦 has the sound lìn [恡].' The sūtra text takes the deer radical, writing lín (麟), which is an auspicious beast and not the intended meaning of the sūtra; this is a scribal error. The second character has the sound ji- [皆] + -iè [械] fanqie. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'The class of turtles and tortoises that dwell in water and reproduce on land.' The Shuowen says: 'Formed from bā (八) and rén (人)').
