76.48

Maggot worms (䏣蟲: the first character has the fanqie *qi* [tsʰ-] + *yu* [-io], [qu]. The Shenglei says: "䏣 are the young of flies." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Worms born from flies laying eggs in flesh. Derived from 'flesh' (肉), with *qie* (且) phonetic." The scripture has 疽, which means a carbuncle or ulcer, not the meaning of maggot).
