蝦蟇（上胡加反下莫加反說文云水蟲也𣈆書慧帝於華林園聞蝦蟇聲謂左右曰鳴者為官為私乎古今正字蛙屬也從虫叚省聲下又作蟆從虫莫亦聲）。

> Xiámá (frog / toad) (the first character has the fanqie hú + jiā; the second has mò + jiā. The Shuowen jiezi says: "An aquatic insect." The Book of Jin says that Emperor Hui heard the sound of frogs in the Hualin Garden and asked his attendants: "Are those croakers doing so for the public or for private?" The Gujin zhengzi says: "A kind of frog; formed with the 'insect' radical and an abbreviated xiá phonetic." The second character is also written as 蟆, formed with the 'insect' radical and mò phonetic).
