䏣蟲（上七余反聲類云䏣蠅子也說文蠅乳肉中蟲也從肉且聲經作疽癰疽也非䏣蟲義也）。

Maggot worms (䏣蟲: the first character has the fanqie *qi* [tsʰ-] + *yu* [-io], [qu]. The Shenglei says: "䏣 are the young of flies." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Worms born from flies laying eggs in flesh. Derived from 'flesh' (肉), with *qie* (且) phonetic." The scripture has 疽, which means a carbuncle or ulcer, not the meaning of maggot).
