6.62

鴝鵒(上具俱反下音欲周禮云鴝鵒不渡濟淮南子云鴝鵒一名寒皐異菀云重午日掐鴝鵒重舌能學人語二字皆從鳥句谷聲經文作鸜鸜鵲名非此用也)。

Crested myna (鴝鵒: the first character has the fanqie *j- / j-*, the second is pronounced yu 欲; the Zhouli says: "The quyu (crested myna) does not cross the Ji River"; the Huainanzi says: "The quyu is also named hangao (cold-marsh)"; the Yiyuan says: "Pinching the double tongue of a quyu on the double fifth day allows it to learn human speech"; both characters are derived from niao 鳥 with ju 句 and gu 谷 as phonetics; the sūtra text writes it as ququ 鸜鸜, the name of a magpie, which is not used correctly here).
