翩翻（上匹綿反考聲云翩翩往來貌也下孚園反顧野王云翩翻便旋輕捷之貌也說文云疾飛也二字並從羽扁番皆聲也）。

翩翻 ('fluttering and swirling'): the first character is [pronounced] with the fanqie 匹綿. The Kaosheng says: '翩翩 (piānpiān) is the appearance of coming and going.' The second character is with the fanqie 孚園. Gu Yewang says: '翩翻 (piānfān) is the appearance of swirling around swiftly and nimbly.' The Shuowen says: 'To fly rapidly.' Both characters take 羽 (feather) as semantic component, with 扁 and 番 respectively as phonetic components.
