熊羆（上虛弓反說文熊獸似豕山居也從能炎省聲下彼皮反郭注爾雅羆似熊而頭高脚多力拔木關西呼熊說文從熊羆省聲也）。

Bear and brown bear (熊羆: the first character is fanqie 虛 + 弓. The Shuowen jiezi says: "The bear is a beast resembling a boar that dwells in the mountains; it takes 'neng' [能] as signific and an abbreviated form of 'yan' [炎] as phonetic." The second character is fanqie 彼 + 皮. Guo Pu's commentary on the Erya says: "The brown bear resembles a bear, but with a raised head, high legs, and immense strength capable of uprooting trees; west of the Pass it is called a bear." The Shuowen jiezi says it takes 'xiong' [熊] as signific and an abbreviated form of 'pi' [羆] as phonetic).
