肘行（上輈有反說文云肘臂節也從月從寸寸手寸口也肘行者屈肘屈膝伏地而行也時人謂之匍匐）。

Crawling on elbows (for the first [syllable, the fanqie is] 輈 + 有. The *Shuowen* says: "The elbow is the joint of the arm." It is composed of 月 [flesh] and 寸 [inch]; an inch refers to the pulse point on the wrist. Walking on elbows means bending elbows and knees, crawling prone on the ground; people of our day call it *pufu* [crawling]).
