鯨鯢（上競迎反淮南子云鯨魚𣦸而彗星見見音峴字統云鯨海中大魚也許叔重曰鯨即魚之王也說文云鯨海大魚也從畺聲亦從京作鯨通用傳文作鯨俗字也下詣鷄反杜注左傳云鯨鯢大魚也顧野王云鮑食小魚也說文鯢刺魚也從魚兒聲兒音同）。

鯨鯢 (whale: the first character is a fanqie of 競 and 迎 [jīng]; the Huainanzi states: 'When a whale dies, a comet appears;' 'appears' (見) is pronounced xiàn. The Zitong states: 'A whale is a large fish in the sea.' Xu Shuzhong says: 'The whale is the king of fish.' The Shuowen states: 'A whale is a large sea fish;' it is analyzed with phonetic 畺, and is also written interchangeably with 京 as 鯨; the transmitted text having 鯨 is a vulgar character. The second character is a fanqie of 詣 and 鷄 [ní]; Du's commentary to the Zuozhuan states: '鯨 and 鯢 are large fish.' Gu Yewang states: 'They are salted fish that devour smaller fish.' The Shuowen states: 'The 鯢 is a female fish;' it is analyzed as semantic 魚 and phonetic 兒, with 兒 pronounced the same).
