頿髯（子移反下又作髯同而甘反江南行此音又如廉反關中行此音說文口二之須曰頿下說文頰須毛也經文作髭近字也）。

Mustache and beard 頿髯 (The first character has the fanqie zi + yi; the second is also written 髯, identical, and has the fanqie er + gan. This pronunciation is current south of the Yangtze. Another fanqie is ru + lian, which is current in Guanzhong. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The whiskers above the mouth are called 頿.' Below it, the Shuowen says: 'Cheek-whiskers.' The sūtra text writes 髭, which is an analogous character).
