31.443

螏蟍 (upper: *dzin* + *sit* [jí], lower: *lik* + *tje* [lí]: Guo [Pu]'s commentary on the *Erya* says: 'The 螏蟍 is the centipede (蝍蛆); it resembles a locust, with a large belly and long horns, and can eat a snake's brain.' The *Wenzidian shuo* says: 'They follow the insect radical with the phonetics *jí* (疾) and *lí* (梨).' The sūtra writes 蒺䔧, which is the name of a plant (*Tribulus terrestris*) and does not have this meaning).
