吞噬 (tūn-shì; fanqie for the first character: [t- + -ēn] [tūn]. The Shuowen jiezi says: '吞 means to swallow.' The second character has the fanqie: shí + zhì [shì]. Wang Bi's commentary on the Zhouyi says: '噬 means to bite; it also means to eat.' It takes 口 as semantic component and 筮 as phonetic component.)
