𩧐駝 (Camel: the first character has both fanqie 郎各 [luò] and 湯洛 [tuò]; both are acceptable. Dictionaries write it 𩧐; the sūtra text writes it 馲, which is incorrect. The second character has the fanqie 達河 [tuó]; it is also written [駝-匕+止], or popularly written 駞. The Kaosheng says: “The name of a northern barbarian beast.” Guo Pu’s commentary on the Shanhaijing says: “The camel has fleshy humps on its back, can carry a thousand catties, travels three hundred li a day, and can detect where water springs are.” Both are phono-semantic characters.)
