16.156

𧏦動 (ruǎn-dòng; fanqie: [r- + -ǔn] [ruǎn]. The Kaosheng says: 'Those with feet are called 蟲 [insects]; those without feet are called 𧏦 [crawling grubs].' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The wriggling movement of small insects. It takes 虫 as semantic component and 䎡 as phonetic component.' In the sūtra text it is written as 𧑮, which is erroneous. The Cang Jie pian writes it as [虫*芥].)
