頡頏 (The upper [character] is xian + jie [xié]. The lower [character] is he + lang [háng]. The Kaosheng says: "頡頏 is the appearance of flying up and down alternately." Mao's commentary to the Classic of Poetry says: "A bird flying upward is called 頡; flying downward is called 頏." The Shuowen says: "A straight neck; both derive from 頁 [head]." 頁 is pronounced xian + jie [xié]; 魯首 is incorrect.)
