麝𪏰: The first character has the fanqie [sh]é + [y]è. The Shanhaijing says: "Cui Mountain has much musk deer (麝)." Guo['s] commentary says: "The musk deer resembles a roe deer, and has fragrance inside its navel." Also, his commentary on the Erya says: "The male of the mi-deer." The Gujin zhengzi says it is composed of the deer radical (鹿) and 射 phonetic. The second character is the orthodox form of the character 香. The Shuowen [jiezi] says: "Fragrance (香) means sweet-smelling. Composed of 黍 ('millet') and 甘 ('sweet'), referring to the aromatic scent of broomcorn and foxtail millet."
