14.85

蚤蝨 (The upper character is pronounced zao3 [zao-lao fan]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A jumping insect that bites people.' Formed from 䖵 and 叉, pronounced zhua3. The sūtra writes it with 欠 as 𧈸, an erroneous abbreviation that fails to form a proper character. The lower character is pronounced shi1 [suo-yi fan]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'An insect in clothing that bites people; formed from 䖵 and 卂.' 卂 is pronounced xin4. The sūtra text writes 虱 with half of 風, which is incorrect).
