豺狼（上牀皆反山獸也爾雅云豺㺃足說文云亦狼屬也從豸才聲經文從犬作犲非桉豺有二種一曰豺郎二曰豺奴小者先行共獵得獸殺已不敢即食以待豺郎故月令云豺祭獸是其事下洛當反說文云狼似犬銳頭白頰猛獸也從犬良形聲字）。

> 豺狼 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie \*ch-\*, \[chai\], from 牀 and 皆; it is a mountain beast. The \*Erya\* states: 'The dhole has canine paws.' The \*Shuowen\* states: 'It is also of the wolf kind; it takes 豸 as semantic and 才 as phonetic.' Sūtra texts write it with 犬 as 犲, which is incorrect. Note: of dholes there are two kinds: the first is called the dhole-lord (豺郎), and the second is called the dhole-slave (豺奴). The smaller ones go first to hunt together; once they have captured and killed beasts, they dare not eat them immediately, but wait for the dhole-lord. Hence the \*Yueling\* states, 'The dholes offer up beasts in sacrifice,' which refers to this matter. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie \*l-\*, \[lang\], from 洛 and 當. The \*Shuowen\* states: 'The wolf resembles a dog with a sharp head and white cheeks; it is a ferocious beast. It takes 犬 as semantic and 良 as phonetic; it is a phono-semantic character.')
