16.10

羱𦍞 (Yuándī, wild mountain sheep and rams: the upper character has both the fanqie Yu-yuan [yuán] and Wu-guan [wān], both being acceptable. The Erya says: 'The yuán sheep is like the Wu sheep.' Guo Pu says: 'It resembles the Wu sheep but has large horns; it is a mountain sheep.' The sūtra text writes 𦍘, which is incorrect. The lower character has the fanqie Ding-xi [dī]. The Mao commentary to the Shijing says: 'A dī sheep is a male sheep.' The Guangya says: 'Male.' A male of the Wu sheep at three years of age is called a dī. Both are phono-semantic characters).
