麟負（栗𭹀反公羊傳麟者仁獸有王者即至其以告爾雅𪊽身牛尾一角郭璞注云角頭有肉顧野王麒曰牝麟也毛詩云麟之趾是也說文從鹿粦聲也）。

Lin fu 麟負 (a qilin carrying on its back: lì-… fanqie; the Gongyang zhuan says: 'The lin 麟 is a benevolent beast; when there is a true king, it arrives.' It means that by this it makes itself known. The Erya says: 'It has the body of a muntjac, the tail of an ox, and a single horn.' Guo Pu’s commentary says: 'The tip of the horn has flesh.' Gu Yewang says: 'The female qi 麒 is called a lin 麟.' The Mao Shi says: 'The hooves of the lin'—this is it. The Shuowen gives it as derived from lù 鹿 [deer], with lín 粦 phonetic).
