禽獸 [Birds and beasts]: Fanqie 及 (ji) + 今 (jin) [MC: *gĭəm]. The Baihu tong states: '禽 (qin) is the general designation for birds and beasts.' The Erya states: 'Two-legged and feathered creatures are called 禽 (qin).' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'The head is pictographic; formed from 禸 with the phonetic 今 (jin). The heads of 禽, 离, and 𠒋 resemble one another.' In the sūtra text it is written with 犬 as 𤢌, which is incorrect. 禸 is fanqie 柔 (rou) + 帚 (zhou).
