鯨鯢（上競京反下詣雞反許叔重曰鯨者魚之王也顧野王云鯢者食小魚也杜注云鯨鯢大魚也淮南子云鯨死而彗星見是也說文亦大魚也鯨鯢二字並從魚京兒聲兒音同上也）。

Large whales 鯨鯢 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 競 + 京; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 詣 + 雞; Xu Shuzhong [Xu Shen] says: "The whale is the king of fish." Gu Yewang says: "The ni is a devourer of small fish." Du [Yu's] commentary says: "The jing and ni are great fish." The Huainanzi says: "When a whale dies, a comet appears," which is an example. The Shuowen jiezi also says they are great fish; both jing and ni take the fish radical 魚, with 京 and 兒 respectively serving as phonetics; 兒 has the same pronunciation as given above).
