鸚鵡(上烏耕反下音武或作䳇二體同山海經云黃山有鳥青羽赤喙人舌能作人語名曰鸚鵡曲禮曰鸚鵡能言不離飛鳥是也)。

鸚鵡 (Parrot: The upper character has the fanqie 烏耕 [yīng]. The lower character has the sound 武 [wǔ]. It is also written as 䳇, both forms being identical. The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "At Mount Huang there is a bird with green feathers, a red beak, and a human tongue that can speak human words, named the parrot." The Quli says: "The parrot can speak, yet does not cease to be a flying bird"; this is it).
