鷦鷯（上音焦下音遼廣雅鷦鷯食桃虫也說文作鷦𪃐音訛聲轉也俗呼為巧婦鳥能以萩花絮為囊作巢故號為巧婦鳥𪃐音彌消反巢於𥯤枝食葦中蟲也）。

鷦鷯 ('wren'): the first character is pronounced jiāo; the second character is pronounced liáo. The Guangya says: 'The 鷦鷯 (jiāoliáo) is an insect-eating bird of peaches.' The Shuowen writes it as 鷦𪃐; the sound has mutated. In popular parlance it is called the 'skillful-woman bird' (巧婦鳥). It is able to weave nests using the fluffy catkins of wormwood flowers like pouches, hence the name 'skillful-woman bird.' 𪃐 is pronounced with the fanqie 彌消. It nests on reed stalks and feeds on insects inside reeds.
