Quail and snipe (鶉鴳) (the upper character is [pronounced] 垂 + 輪 [chuí-lún > chún]; the Huainanzi says: "Frogs transform into quails"; it takes the "bird" radical [鳥] and has 享 for phonetic; the lower character has the sound 晏 [yàn]; the commentary to the Guoyu says: "The yàn is a bird of the wild goose kind, singing at the Beginning of Spring and departing at the Beginning of Autumn"; it is a phono-semantic character).
