95.136

蜎飛 ('Flying insects'; the first character has the fanqie 一 + 緣 [yuān]. The Erya says: 'Small red insects in wells.' I fear this is not the intended meaning; examining it, it ought to be the character [翾-羽+月], pronounced with the fanqie 許 + 緣 [xuān]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The appearance of flying small-winged,' which accords somewhat better with the meaning. [Consider] it with care.)
