黍米(上舒呂反說文云禾屬而黏者也以大暑而種故謂之黍從禾雨省聲孔子曰黍可為酒禾入水也經文作𤇕不曉字義誤書也下莫禮反說文穬粟實也象禾實之形也)。

黍米 (The first character has the fanqie *shu* + *lü* [shu]. The *Shuowen* states: "A type of cereal grain that is glutinous. Because it is planted in midsummer heat, it is called *shu* (broomcorn millet). It is formed with the 'grain' classifier and an abbreviated phonetic *yu* (rain).' Confucius said: '*Shu* can be used to make wine; it is grain entering water.' The sūtra text writes 𤇕, which is a mistaken transcription by someone ignorant of the character's meaning. The second character has the fanqie *mo* + *li* [mi]. The *Shuowen* states: "The grain of unhulled millet; pictographic of the form of the grain on the stalk.")
