紅茜(下千霰反說文云茜茅蒐也可以染絳色也人血所生從草西聲)。

Madder-red (紅茜): the second character is pronounced with the fanqie qian-xian (qian). The Shuowen states: "Qian is maosou (madder); it can be used to dye crimson; it is produced from human blood; it takes 'grass' (草) as semantic classifier and has xi (西) as phonetic component."
