蛇虺(上社耶反下暉偉反毛詩云胡為虺蜴則𧋍蜴屬也顧野王今亦以為蝮虺也說文石虺以注鳴者從兀虫聲)。

Serpents and vipers (蛇虺) (the first character has the fanqie 社耶反; the second character has the fanqie 暉偉反. The Mao Poetry says: “Why are they vipers and lizards?” These belong to the lizard kind. Gu Yewang nowadays also regards them as pit-vipers and venomous snakes. The Shuowen jiezi says: “A stone viper that hisses when striking; it takes 兀 as semantic component and 虫 as phonetic component”).
