蜴蜥（上音易下音昔說文云在屋壁曰守宮在草澤曰蜴蜥其鳴自呼口中吐卵而生並形聲字）。

蜴蜥: The first character is pronounced yi (yì). The second character is pronounced xi (xī). The *Shuowen* says: 'When inside house walls it is called a gecko (shougong); when in grass and marshes it is called a lizard (yixi). Its cry calls its own name; it gives birth by spitting eggs from its mouth.' Both are phono-semantic compound characters.
