蟣蝨（上飢顗反考聲云蟣者蝨之卵也說文云蟣者蝨子也從虫幾聲下山櫛反說文云蝨者齧人蟲也從䖵卂聲也律文從虫作𧈲俗字非也䖵音昆卂音信）。

Nits and lice [蟣蝨]: The first character (ji + yi [jǐ]) is explained in the Kaosheng: 'Jǐ is a louse egg.' The Shuowen states: 'Jǐ is a louse egg; formed with "insect" [虫] as radical and jī [幾] as phonetic.' The second character (shan + zhi [shī]) is explained in the Shuowen: 'A louse is an insect that bites humans; formed with "insects" [䖵] as radical and xùn [卂] as phonetic.' In the Vinaya text it is written with 'insect' [虫] as 𧈲, which is an incorrect vulgar character. 䖵 is pronounced kūn; 卂 is pronounced xìn.
