Flapping up and down: 頡 [jie] (upper character: 賢 + 結 fanqie); 頑 [wan] (lower character: 航 + 浪 fanqie. The Kaosheng says: "'Jiewan' means suddenly ascending and suddenly descending." The Mao commentary on the Shijing says: "Flying upward is called jie; flying downward is called wan." 頡 is also written as [(土/口)*羽], and 頑 as [(〦/儿)*羽]; both are interchangeable).
