49.5

眾蠹(都固反穆天子傳云食書食簡蠧蟲也說文食木中蟲也從䖵從[橐-木]省聲也或作螙象蟲在木間象形字也)。

All insect pests (眾蠹: du + gu fan; the Mu Tianzi zhuan says: "Insects that eat books and tablets are du pests." The Shuowen says: "Insects that eat the insides of wood." It derives from 䖵 [insects] with [橐-木] as an abbreviated phonetic. It is also written as 螙, picturing an insect between wood, being a pictographic character).
