鷦螟(上醮銷反爾雅云鷦桃虫也古今正字鷦𪃐亦桃虫也從鳥𤊙聲下音冥莊子云鷦螟巢於蚊睫蓋虫之小稱也古今正字螟從虫冥聲𪃐音眇䀹音接蟃音慢)。

Wren and midges 鷦螟 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 醮 + 銷; the Erya says: "The jiao is a peach insect." The Gujin zhengzi states: "The jiaomiao is also a peach insect; it takes the bird radical 鳥 and the phonetic 𤊙." The second character is pronounced 冥; the Zhuangzi says: "The midges nest on the eyelash of a mosquito," which is generally a term for diminutive insects. The Gujin zhengzi states that ming takes the insect radical 虫 and the phonetic 冥; 𪃐 is pronounced 眇, 䀹 is pronounced 接, and 蟃 is pronounced 慢).
