Foot-long quail (also written 鴳, the same, *wū-jiàn* fanqie; the 鴳 is a quail-like bird, also called 鶬鷃, and also called 𩿇. The Zuan says: 'Within the Passes, the quail (鷃) is called 鷃爛堆.' According to [sources], the quail is only one foot long, hence it takes this name. One [variant] writes 𢇛, meaning a small marsh).
