The Shuowen jiezi says: "A biting flying insect." The character is formed with an abbreviated hūn \[dusk\], because it emerges at dusk. The second character has the fanqie niú + yǐ; the Shuowen jiezi writes it as 螘, meaning a píbǐ. The Erya says: "The pífú is a large ant; small ones are yǐ." It is formed with the "insect" radical and the sound qǐ. Writing it as 蟻 today is the popular form). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.8.95) - [Next: 8.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.8.97) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129~en-mt.8.96) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.8.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2129.8.96) · Pramāṇa
