啖圂蟲 ('worms feeding in the privy'; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 談 + 濫. The Guangya says: "'Dan' (啖) means to eat." The Shuowen says: "'Dan' also means to chew; it is formed from [the radical] 口 with 炎 as the phonetic component." The middle character is pronounced with the fanqie 魂 + 困. The Cangjie pian says: "'Hun' (圂) is where pigs live." The Shuowen says: "'Hun' is a latrine; writing it with [the radical] 口 as 𰈔 is incorrect." 囗 has the sound 韋).
