Soaring and wheeling (翱翔: the first character has the fanqie 吾高反; the second character has the fanqie 夕羊反. The Mao Shijing states: "In lambskin robes they soar and glide (aoxiang);" the annotation says: "Aoxiang is like rambling freely." The Erya states: "When of the raptor or crow kinds, their flying is called xiang." Guo Pu says: "Spreading wings and wheeling." The Zitong states: "Gliding in flight without flapping the wings is called xiang." The Shuowen jiezi states: "Aoxiang means circling in flight. Both characters take the feather radical (羽), with 臯 (sound 高) and 羊 as phonetics; both have the semantic radical on the right and phonetic on the left").
