覆巢(鋤交反毛詩箋云鵲之作巢說文鳥在木上巢從木象形也集從手作摷音責交反非巢義字正體作此巢)。

Overturned nest (鋤交 fanqie [cháo]. The Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: 'The magpie building its nest.' The Shuowen says: 'A bird's nest in a tree; analyzed as from 木, pictographic.' The collected edition writes it with the hand radical as 摷, pronounced 責交 fanqie, which does not convey the meaning of 'nest'; the correct form is indeed this 巢).
