巢窟（上仕爻反鄭箋毛詩云鵲之作巢冬至架之至春乃成也鄭注考工記云巢猶高也說文云鳥在木曰巢在穴曰窠從木象形字也下困骨反杜注左傳窟地室也禮記云冬則居營窟是也聲類云窟免所伏也說文從穴屈聲）。

巢窟 ('nests and dens'; the upper character is pronounced 仕 [shì] + 爻 [yáo] fanqie. Zheng's commentary on the Mao Shi says: 'When magpies build a nest, they begin constructing it at the winter solstice, and it is completed by spring.' Zheng's commentary on the Kaogong ji says: '巢 [cháo] is like high.' The Shuowen says: 'A bird's abode in a tree is called 巢 [cháo]; in a cave, it is called 窠 [kē]. It is composed of 木 ["wood"] and is a pictographic character.' The lower character is pronounced 困 [kùn] + 骨 [gǔ] fanqie. Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: 'A 窟 [kū] is an underground chamber.' The Liji says: 'In winter they dwelt in earthen caves [營窟],' which is this. The Shenglei says: 'A 窟 [kū] is where hares hide.' The Shuowen has it composed of 穴 ['hole'] with 屈 as phonetic).
