𰮈𦜜（上芳吠反金之精白色說文云火藏也從肉市非未反聲王叔和脉經云𰮈主鼻𰮈有瘡則鼻臭也下辰忍反水藏也色黑陰其形偶五苟反故𦜜雙說文云從肉臤口千反省聲也王叔和脉經云𦜜主耳故𦜜虛則耳聾以所主為候）。

Lungs and kidneys (𰮈𦜜): The first character is read with the fanqie 芳 + 吠; it is the essence of metal and white in colour. The Shuowen says: 'The fire organ. It derives from 肉 with 市 (read with the fanqie 非 + 未) providing the phonetic.' Wang Shuhe's Maijing says: 'The lungs govern the nose; if the lungs have sores, the nose smells foul.' The second character is read with the fanqie 辰 + 忍; it is the water organ, black in colour and yin; its shape is paired (偶, read with the fanqie 五 + 苟), hence the kidneys are a pair. The Shuowen says: 'It derives from 肉 with an abbreviated 臤 (read with the fanqie 口 + 千) providing the phonetic.' Wang Shuhe's Maijing says: 'The kidneys govern the ears; therefore, when the kidneys are deficient, the ears are deaf, being diagnosed by what they govern.'
