餬口（上戶孤反郭注尒雅云糜也說文寄食也從食胡聲糜音美為反）。

餬口 ('earn a living / feed one's mouth'): the first character is [pronounced] with the fanqie 戶孤. Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'It means gruel.' The Shuowen says: 'Lodging food. It takes 食 (food) as semantic component and 胡 as phonetic component.' 糜 (gruel) is pronounced with the fanqie 美為.
