53.76

Sideways crab (傍蟹: the second character is xié + jiè fanqie. The Shuowen says: "Crabs have two pinchers (𩪋)—𩪋 means hands—and eight legs, walking sideways; without the burrows of snakes and eels they have nowhere to shelter. It takes the radical 虫 and has 解 as phonetic." 𩪋 is pronounced áo; 蟺 is pronounced shàn, a kind of snake).
