蛆蟲 (The upper character is pronounced qu1 [qi-yu fan]; properly written as 䏣 with 'flesh' (肉). The Kaosheng says: 'Worms in spoiled meat and fermented paste.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Worms produced by flies in meat; formed from "flesh" (肉) with 且 as phonetic.' The sūtra text writes 蛆 with 'insect' (虫), which is a vulgar character. The lower character is pronounced chong2 [zhu-rong fan], formed from three 'insects' (蟲). The Erya says: 'Those with feet are called 蟲').
