6.126

魍魎: The first character is pronounced like 罔; the second character is pronounced like 兩. Jia [Kui]’s commentary on the Guoyu says: “Water demons and monstrous ghosts.” The Huainanzi says: “The shape of the wangliang is like a three-year-old child, reddish-black, with red eyes, red claws, long ears, and fine hair.” It is sometimes written with 虫 as 蝄蜽, or as 𲌫魎.
