瘂默（上烏賈反集訓云瘂不能言也案瘂者有聲而無詞也古今正字從疒亞聲疒音女厄反也）。

Yamo 瘂默 (the first character is fanqie 烏 + 賈. The Jixun states: "Ya 瘂 means unable to speak." We note: one who is mute has voice but no words. The Gujin zhengzi gives it as classified under the illness radical (疒) with the phonophoric ya 亞; the illness radical is fanqie 女 + 厄).
