鸚鵡（上厄耕反下音武山海經云黃山有鳥其狀如鴞青羽赤啄人舌能言名曰鸚鵡郭注云今鸚鵡似小皃舌脚指前後各兩爪扶南外出毛羽五色者亦有純白者說文二字皆從鳥嬰武聲下或作䳇音同）。

Parrot (鸚鵡: the first character has the fanqie *e- / g-*, the second is pronounced wu 武; the Shanhaijing states: "On Mount Huang there is a bird shaped like an owl, with green feathers, a red beak, and a human-like tongue, able to speak; it is called yingwu (parrot)"; Guo's commentary says: "The parrot today has a tongue like a child, and its toes have two claws in front and two behind; it comes from Funan and other regions; some have five-colored plumage, and some are pure white"; the Shuowen states: "Both characters are derived from niao 鳥 with ying 嬰 and wu 武 as phonetics"; the second is sometimes written as 䳇, with the same sound).
