蜴𧋍（上音亦下星歷反說文在壁曰蝘蜓在草曰𧋍蜴方言澤中曰𧋍蜴南楚謂之虵醫或謂之蠑螈字從虫易析皆形聲也經文下作蜡音乍乃十二月終大蜡祭名也執筆之人誤書也析音先戚反昔音私積反）。

蜴𧋍 (The upper character is pronounced like 亦 [yì]. The lower character has the fanqie 星歷 [x- + -(l)ek = xī/xīli]. The Shuowen says: 'On a wall it is called 蝘蜓 [yǎntíng, gecko]; in the grass it is called 𧋍蜴 [xīyì, lizard].' The Fangyan says: 'In marshes it is called 𧋍蜴; in Southern Chu it is called 虵醫 [shéyī], or sometimes called 蠑螈 [róngyuán].' The characters are formed with the classifier 虫 [insect/reptile] and phonetic 易 and 析; both are phonosemantic characters. In the sūtra text, the lower character is written as 蜡, pronounced 乍 [zhà], which is the name of the great Zhà sacrifice at the end of the twelfth month; the scribe wrote it erroneously. 析 is pronounced 先戚 [xī], and 昔 is pronounced 私積 [xī]).
