"Ram" (Fanqie: 底 + 泥 [dī]. The Mao Commentary to the Shijing says: '羝羊 is a male sheep.' The Guangya says: '羝 is a ram; a stubborn male sheep of three years is called 羝.' The Shuowen jiezi says it derives from the sheep radical with 氐 as phonetic. The treatise writes it as 羝, which is an erroneous explanation).
