鱓蛭（上蟬闡反上聲字郭注山海經云鱓魚似蛇也說文皮可以為鼓從魚單聲下真叱反蒼頡篇云水蟲也能唼人血說文從虫至聲虫音虺）。

鱓蛭 (The first syllable is *shàn* [shan + chan fanqie], a falling-rising tone character. Guo Pu's commentary on the Shanhaijing says: "The 鱓 (*shàn*) fish resembles a snake." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Its skin can be used to make drums; it is formed with 'fish' (魚) and 單 as the phonetic component." The second syllable is *zhì* [zhen + chi fanqie]. The Cangjie pian says: "An aquatic creature capable of sucking human blood." The Shuowen jiezi states that it is formed with 'insect' (虫) and 至 as the phonetic component. 虫 is pronounced *huǐ*).
