Hunter (獵師: the upper [character has the fanqie] 廉葉 [l- + -ep → liè].

Formed from 犬 (dog) and 巤 as phonetic.” The scripture writes it as [木*(葛-人+乂)], which is a popular character; hereafter, whenever there are characters like this without phonetic glosses, they should be judged according to this; those with 鼠 (rat) are the same as above).
