兔彪（上他路反傳文從草作莬亦通皆狐兔字也說文兔獸也象踞後點象其尾下彼休反傳文作彪俗字也說文彪虎之文字也從虎從彡象其文也）。

Hares and tiger cubs (兔彪: the first character is fanqie ta + lu [tù]. The transmission's text writes it with 草 (grass) as 莬, which is also acceptable; both are characters for hare/rabbit. The Shuowen says: "Tù is a beast; it depicts a crouching posture, with the final dot depicting its tail." The second character is fanqie bi + xiu [biāo]. The transmission writes it as 彪, which is a vulgar character. The Shuowen says: "Biāo refers to the stripes of a tiger; it is formed from [the radical] 虎 (tiger) and 彡, depicting its stripes").
