5.39

蟲䏣(上逐融反爾雅云有足曰蟲今經文作虫略也下七余反字書云蠅以蒸反乳肉中虫也說文云䏣字從肉且聲也)。

Worms and maggots (蟲䏣): The first character is read with the fanqie 逐 + 融. The Erya says: 'Those with feet are called 蟲.' Now written in the sūtra text as 虫, which is an abbreviation. The second character is read with the fanqie 七 + 余. A character dictionary says: 'Maggots bred by flies (蠅, read with the fanqie 以 + 蒸) in meat.' The Shuowen says: 'The character 䏣 derives from 肉 with 且 providing the phonetic.'
