搔首（㛮刀反許叔重注淮南子云搔抓也說文刮也從手蚤聲）。

Scratching the head (搔首): [The first character is pronounced] *sao* + *dao* fan. Xu Shuzhong's commentary on the Huainanzi says: 'To scratch (搔) means to claw.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It means to scrape. It is formed with [the semantic classifier] hand (手) and the phonetic component *zao* (蚤).'
