Screech-owl (鵂鶹: first character fanqie: x[ǔ] + [ni]ú; the latter fanqie: l[ì] + [zh]ōu. The Erya says: 'Ge, ji, qi.' Guo Pu says: 'Now east of the Yangtze they call the xiumao the hook-ge; ge is pronounced ge.' The Guangya states: 'Xiumao is the jiaochi; jiao has the sound of the fanqie m[ǎo] + [ji]ǎng; it is also called the omen-bird; blind by day, it sees by night; its calling is regarded as an omen.' In Guanxi it is called xunhou; east of the mountains it is called xunhu. The Zhuanwen states: 'At night it gathers human fingernails.').
