執麈㞑（上正執字從失從[((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)][((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)]亦聲失音戟[((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)]音女涉反次朱與反郭注山海經云麈似鹿而大者也聲類云麈尾可為扇也晉書云王夷甫甞執玉柄麈尾與手不別也說文云麈鹿屬也大而一角從鹿主聲下正尾字也）。

Holding a deer-tail chowry (for the first [character 執], the standard form of 'zhi' follows 失 and [((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)]; [((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)] is also phonetic. 失 is pronounced ji [jí]; [((嘹-口)-小)-日+(工/十)] is pronounced n- + [sh]e [niè]. Next, for [the character 麈], zh- + [y]u [zhǔ]; Guo's commentary to the Classic of Mountains and Seas says: “The 'zhu' is like a deer but larger.” The Shenglei says: “The deer tail can be made into a fan.” The Book of Jin says: “Wang Yifu once held a deer-tail chowry with a jade handle, indistinguishable from his hand.” The Shuowen says: “The 'zhu' belongs to the deer family; it is large and has one horn. It follows 鹿 (deer) with 主 as phonetic.” The last [character 㞑] is the standard character for tail [尾]).
