虓吽（上嚇交反埤蒼虓嚇大怒也說文云虎鳴也從虎九聲或作唬下呼苟反聲類吽噑也考聲云鳴之大也文字典說獸聲也從口牛聲也或從句作𤘽又作呴經文作哮吼俗用非也）。

Roaring and bellowing (虓吽; the first character is fanqie 嚇 + 交. The Picang says: '虓 means raging in great fury.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The roar of a tiger. It takes 虎 as semantic classifier and 九 as phonetic.' It is also written as 唬. The second character is fanqie 呼 + 苟. The Shenglei says: '吽 means to roar.' The Kaosheng says: 'A great sounding cry.' The Wenzi dianshuo says: 'The sound of a beast. It takes 口 as semantic classifier and 牛 as phonetic.' It is also written with 句 as 𤘽, or written as 呴. Writing it in the scripture text as 哮吼 is a popular vulgar variant and incorrect).
