鸕鶿（力胡反下音慈爾雅云鶿鷧郭璞云即鸕鶿也觜頭如鈎食魚者也中國或名水鴉此鳥胎生從口吐出一產八九子也）。

Cormorant (鸕鶿): [鸕 is pronounced with the fanqie] 力 + 胡; the second character is pronounced 慈 (ci). The Erya says: 'Ciyi (鶿鷧).' Guo Pu says: 'That is the luci (鸕鶿, cormorant); the tip of its bill is like a hook, and it feeds on fish.' In the central lands it is sometimes called water crow. This bird is viviparous, giving birth by spitting them out from its mouth, bearing eight or nine young at one birth.
