玁狁（上杴儼反下聿笋反毛詩傳云玁狁北狄之号也鄭箋云今匈奴也漢書云唐虞之際已有熏育玁狁居北陲也古今正字玁狁二字皆從犬嚴允亦聲字書考聲或作獫廉贍反非本字不取）。

玁狁 ("The Xianyun"): The first character is pronounced with the fanqie 杴 + 儼 (xiǎn); the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 聿 + 笋 (yǔn). The Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry states: 'Xianyun is the title of the northern Di.' Zheng's笺 states: 'Today they are the Xiongnu.' The Book of Han states: 'In the time of Tang and Yu [Yao and Shun], there were already the Xunyu and Xianyun dwelling on the northern borders.' The Gujin zhengzi states: 'Both characters Xian and Yun take the radical 犬 (dog) with 嚴 and 允 as phonetics.' Character books and the Kaosheng sometimes write it as 獫, pronounced with the fanqie 廉 + 贍 (liǎn), which is not the original character and is not adopted.
