86.111

雄虺(下暉偉反毛詩云無為虺蜴也爾雅蝮虺博三寸首大如擘顧野王云虺蝮也說文從虫兀聲亦作𩃾音同)。

Male viper 雄虺 (the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 暉 + 偉; the Mao Commentary on the Book of Songs says: "Do not act as a viper or lizard." The Erya says: "The pit viper (蝮虺) is three inches broad, with a head as large as a thumb." Gu Yewang says: "Hui is a pit viper." The Shuowen jiezi states that it takes the insect radical 虫 and the phonetic 兀; it is also written as 𩃾, with the same pronunciation).
