Frosted sandgrouse 霜鵽 (pronounced [追 + 刮] *zhuó*. Guo Pu's commentary to the Erya states: "The *duo* [鵽] is as large as a pigeon and resembles a female pheasant; it has rat-like feet without hind toes and a forked tail. It is a dull bird that flies in flocks and comes from the northern deserts." The Shuowen says it takes 鳥 [bird] as radical and 叕 as phonetic. 叕 is pronounced [竹 + 劣] *zhuó*).
