78.159

Bartering a hawk ([(夕*(ㄗ@、))/貝]鷹: the first is [pronounced] *mao* + *hou* [mào], meaning commercial exchange, vulgarly written with *mǎo* [夘] as 貿 [mào], exchanging goods for goods. The second is *yi* + *jin* [yīng], a bird of prey that can catch hares; the Shuowen says it takes the 'bird' radical [鳥] and the phonetic component *yan* [雁]).
