The Lüshi chunqiu says: 'In the north there is a beast named jué; its front legs resemble a hare's; when trotting it stumbles, when running it tumbles.' Thus the qióngqióng and jùxū must also have rodent-like hind legs and hare-like forelegs; their fronts being high, they cannot reach the sweet grass, hence they need the jué to feed them. Nowadays on Mount Xiawu in Guangwu County of Yanmen, there is a beast shaped like a large hare; they carry one another and travel together; local custom calls it the jué rodent. The Shuowen says: '𧉨 is a beast; it takes 虫 as semantic and 卭 as phonetic.' 螶 takes 䖵 as semantic and 巨 as phonetic.
