57.57

鷄𠒎 ('chickens and wild ducks'; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 輔 + 無. Guo [Pu's] commentary on the Erya says: "The 'fu' (𠒎) resembles a duck but is smaller, with a long tail and markings on its back. Today the people of Jiangdong also call it 'yi' (鸍), pronounced 詩." The Kaosheng says: "It is also a smaller kind of wild duck; it is formed from [the radical] 鳥 with 几 as the phonetic component." 几 is pronounced 殊. The sūtra writes it with [the radical] 力 as 𭄩, which is not this bird).
