麒𪊭（上巨之反下栗真反考聲麟𪊭瑞獸也公羊傳仁獸也爾雅麕身牛尾鹿蹄一角郭云角端有肉顧野王曰牝曰麒牡曰𪊭有聖德王者澤及鳥獸則至其郊說文作\[鹿/其\]\[鹿/宏\]說與爾雅同二字並從鹿其𠫤聲也或作麟非也集本作騏麟是駿馬名也）。

> Qilin 麒𪊭 (The upper character is pronounced fanqie 巨之; the lower is 栗真. The Kaosheng says: "The lin-lin 麟𪊭 is an auspicious beast." The Gongyang zhuan says: "A benevolent beast." The Erya says: "With the body of a musk deer, the tail of an ox, the hooves of a deer, and a single horn." Guo says: "The tip of the horn has flesh." Gu Yewang says: "The female is called qi 麒, and the male is called lin 𪊭. When a king of sagely virtue extends his benevolence to birds and beasts, they arrive in his suburbs." The Shuowen writes them as \[鹿/其\] and \[鹿/宏\], and its explanation is the same as the Erya; both characters have the 'deer' radical and the phonetic components qi 其 and lin 𠫤. Writing it as 麟 is incorrect. Collected editions writing qilin 騏麟 refer to the name of a fine steed).
