鬼蜮（于逼反毛詩云為鬼為蜮傳云短狐也劉兆云狀如鱉含沙射人著人皮膚為害說文三足以氣䠶害人從虫或聲）。

鬼蜮 Demons and sand-shooters (pronounced [in fanqie] 于 + 逼; the Mao Shijing says: "Acting as ghosts, acting as yù;" the commentary says: "The short fox (sand-spitter)." Liu Zhao says: "It is shaped like a soft-shelled turtle and holds sand in its mouth to shoot at people; when it hits a person's skin it causes harm." The Shuowen says: "A three-legged creature that harms people by spitting sand with its breath; formed with 'insect' (虫) as semantic and 或 as phonetic").
