鳴蟬（時然反月令仲夏之月蟬始鳴聲清亮應劭注漢書云蟬居高食潔目在腋下說文以旁鳴者也從虫單聲集從玄作蚿音弦考聲蚿謂百足蟲也非鳴蟬之義）。

> Chirping cicada 鳴蟬 (pronounced \[時 + 然\] \*chán\*. The Yueling states: "In the midsummer month, cicadas begin to chirp, their sound clear and bright." Ying Shao's commentary to the Hanshu says: "The cicada perches high and eats cleanly; its eyes are under its wings." The Shuowen says: "That which chirps with its flanks." It takes 虫 \[insect\] as radical and 單 as phonetic. In the anthology it is written with 玄 as 蚿, pronounced \*xián\*. The Kaosheng states: "\*Xian\* refers to a centipede; it does not have the meaning of a chirping cicada").
