15.68

Howling and shrieking (嗥叫: the first character has the fanqie 號高. The Zuozhuan says: "Where jackals and wolves howl." The Shuowen says: "嗥 means to roar." It takes 口 as radical with 皋 for phonetic value; 皋 is pronounced 高, composed of 白 and 本, with 本 pronounced 滔. The second character has the fanqie 驍曜. The Guangya says: "叫 means to cry out." Lexicons say: "To call." The Shuowen says: "To roar." It is composed of 口 with [┴*├][┴*├] pronounced with the fanqie 經由. The Yupian writes it 噭, or 嘌, 嘂, or 討; these are all ancient forms of the character 叫. Deriving it from 刀 is incorrect).
