𥄖響 (The first character has the fanqie xin1-yi3, which is a vulgar character; the correct form is 𥄖. The Shuowen jiezi writes it as [八/(囗@(俎-且))]: blood vessels move throbbing within the flesh, hence it is derived from ròu [肉] and bā [八]. Bā means differentiation; derived from shí [十] means the sound reverberates throughout the ten directions. Later people moved bā above shí to make 肸, and then changed it to xī [兮] to make 肹. The second character has the fanqie xiang1-liang3, meaning a resounding noise: an ideogrammic compound).
