鸚鵡(上烏耕反下音武或作䳇山海經云黃山有鳥青羽赤喙人舌能作人語名曰鸚鵡竝從鳥嬰武皆形聲字)。

Parrot (鸚鵡: the first character is [pronounced] 烏耕 [yīng]; the second character has the sound wǔ [wǔ], or is written as 䳇. The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "On Mount Huang there is a bird with blue-green feathers and a red beak, and a human tongue that can speak human language, named yīngwǔ." Both are pictophoretic characters composed of 鳥 with 嬰 and 武).
