呻吟（上室真反鄭注禮記云呻亦吟也下芨金反蒼頡篇云吟嘆也說文一字並從口申今皆聲亦作軟訡）。

呻吟 ('groan and moan'): the first character is [pronounced] with the fanqie 室真. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: '呻 (shēn) is also moaning (吟).' The second character is with the fanqie 芨金. The Cangjiepian says: '吟 (yín) means sighing.' The Shuowen states that both characters take 口 (mouth) as semantic component, with 申 and 今 respectively as phonetic components. They are also written as 軟訡.
