蜎蜚（一泉反字林虫皃也動也或作蠉古文翾同呼泉反飛皃也下古書飛皆作蜚同甫韋反蜚謂蜚揚也案漢書注云正月爵大於鳩五色蜚過二月後蜚過池陽是也）。

蜎蜚 [wriggling and flying creatures]: [The first character is pronounced with the] fanqie 一泉 (yuān). The Zilin says: "It is the appearance of insects; it means moving." It is also written 蠉. The ancient script form 翾 has the fanqie 呼泉 (xuān); it is the appearance of flying. In ancient books, the second character "to fly" (飛) is always written 蜚, with the fanqie 甫韋 (fēi). 蜚 means flying up into the air. Checking this, the commentary to the Book of Han says: "In the first month, sparrows larger than turtledoves and of five colours flew (蜚) past; after the second month, they flew (蜚) past Chiyang"; this is it.
