14.88

黿鼉 (The upper character is pronounced yuan2. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A large soft-shell turtle; formed from 黽 with 元 as phonetic.' The lower character is pronounced tuo2 [tu-he fan]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'An aquatic shelled creature, resembling a lizard but larger; formed from 黽 with 𠹈 as phonetic.' The pronunciation of 𠹈 is tuo2. The Shuowen jiezi states that the character 𠹈 is formed from 叩 and 里. The sūtra text writes it with 𠫹, which is incorrect. 黽 is pronounced meng3. The vulgar usage of writing both 黿 and 鼉 with 黽 is incorrect).
