飛蛾(上芳非反韻英云翔也說文像鳥羽翻飛之形也下五何反說文蠶蛾也爾雅作䖸同正作䖸字也)。

飛蛾 (for the first character, [fēi], fanqie 芳非 [pʰ- + -ɨwɐi = pʰiwi/fēi]. The Yunying says: “To soar.” The Shuowen says: “Depicts the shape of bird wings fluttering in flight.” For the second character, [é], fanqie 五何 [ŋ- + -ɑ = ŋɑ/é]. The Shuowen says: “Silkworm moth.” In the Erya it is written 䖸, the same; standardly it is written 䖸.)
