[鹿/禾/尒]黍（上靡碑反考聲云[鹿/禾/尒]穄也說文從𮮑從麋省聲今俗用或從禾從麻並非也字書云𥞫類也似𥞫而不黏或名穄有白黃赤黑之異皆堪為飯）。

[Deer/grain/er]-millet (the upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 靡碑 [m- + -ie = mie]. The Kaosheng says: "[Deer/grain/er] is panicled millet." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It is composed of 𮮑, with 麋 abbreviated as phonetic." Contemporary popular usage sometimes writes it with 禾 or with 麻, both of which are incorrect. Character dictionaries say: "It is a kind of broomcorn millet; it resembles broomcorn millet but is not sticky." Some call it panicled millet; it comes in white, yellow, red, and black varieties, all of which can be cooked as grain).
