Saliva and spittle (唌唾: the first character has the fanqie x- + [y]an [=xián]; it is a vulgar character commonly used; the standard form is composed of 'water' [水] and 'yawn' [欠] as 㳄; the Shuowen says: 'Mouth fluid'; or written with 'water' as 涎, which is also a vulgar character. The second character has the fanqie t- + [w]o [=tuò]; explained by analogy with the above, it is formed with 'water' and chuí [垂] as phonetic).
