36.37

𧥑篥: The first character is pronounced bi (bì). The second character has the fanqie lin + yi (lì). The *Kaosheng* says: 'The bili is a musical instrument.' The *Guangya* writes it as 觱 or as 𧥑; both are archaic and modern variants. It is the horn blown by the Qiang people to frighten horses. The present scripture text writes 𧤅栗, which is a vulgar form.
