85.175

南鶼: [鶼] is pronounced *jiān* (兼); the name of the bird with shared wings; the Erya states: 'In the south there is a bird with shared wings named the jiān-jiān; it resembles a duck (𠒎), and each has only one eye and one wing; they must pair together before they can fly, and cannot fly without pairing; they are blue-green and red in colour'; written in treatises as 'west' [西] is an error.
