猱猨（上奴高反下越元反毛詩傳云猱亦猨屬也郭注尒疋云猨似獼猴而大臂長便捷也說文並從犬柔爰皆聲）。

Monkeys and apes 猱猨 (the upper character has the fanqie: 奴高 [náo]; the lower has the fanqie: 越元 [yuán]). The Mao Commentary to the Shijing says: 'The nao (猱) is also of the ape class.' Guo's commentary to the Erya says: 'The ape resembles the macaque but is larger, with long arms, and is agile.' The Shuowen jiezi says both take 犬 ('dog') as semantic, and 柔 and 爰 as phonetic.
