黿鼈(上音元下編滅反說文二字竝從黽元敝皆聲也經作鱉通用俗字也)。

Soft-shelled turtles and tortoises (黿鼈; the first character is pronounced 元; the second has the fanqie 編 + 滅. The Shuowen jiezi states that both characters take the 'frog' radical [黽], with 元 and 敝 respectively as their phonetic elements. The sūtra writes 鱉, which is the commonly used popular form).
