禽獸(及今反白虎通云禽者鳥獸之總名也爾雅云二足而弜曰禽說文頭象形從禸今聲禽离𠒋頭相似也經文從犬作𤢌非也禸音柔帚反)。

禽獸 [Birds and beasts]: Fanqie 及 (ji) + 今 (jin) [MC: *gĭəm]. The Baihu tong states: '禽 (qin) is the general designation for birds and beasts.' The Erya states: 'Two-legged and feathered creatures are called 禽 (qin).' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'The head is pictographic; formed from 禸 with the phonetic 今 (jin). The heads of 禽, 离, and 𠒋 resemble one another.' In the sūtra text it is written with 犬 as 𤢌, which is incorrect. 禸 is fanqie 柔 (rou) + 帚 (zhou).
