鸚鵡(上烏耕反下又作䳇二體同音武山海經云黃山有鳥青羽赤喙人舌能作人語名曰鸚鵡禮記云鸚鵡能言不離飛鳥是也二字並形聲字也)。
Parrot (鸚鵡: the upper character has the fanqie 烏耕. The lower character is also written as 䳇; both forms have the same sound wǔ. The Shanhai jing says: "On Mount Huang there are birds with green feathers, red beaks, and human tongues, capable of human speech, called yīngwǔ." The Liji says: "The parrot can speak, yet does not cease to be a flying bird"; this is it. Both characters are phono-semantic characters).
