鱓蛭 (The first syllable is *shàn* [shan + chan fanqie], a falling-rising tone character. Guo Pu's commentary on the Shanhaijing says: "The 鱓 (*shàn*) fish resembles a snake." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Its skin can be used to make drums; it is formed with 'fish' (魚) and 單 as the phonetic component." The second syllable is *zhì* [zhen + chi fanqie]. The Cangjie pian says: "An aquatic creature capable of sucking human blood." The Shuowen jiezi states that it is formed with 'insect' (虫) and 至 as the phonetic component. 虫 is pronounced *huǐ*).
