虎豹(上呼古反說文云山獸君也字從人虍音呼虎足似人足也律文作[后-口+(一/巾)]非本字下博教反廣志云豹死守山說文云獸名作豹律文從犬作豹非也)。

Tigers and leopards (虎豹: the upper character has the fanqie 呼古; the Shuowen jiezi says it is the king of mountain beasts; the character is derived from 人 and 虍, pronounced hu [呼], because a tiger's feet resemble a human's; the Vinaya text writes [后-口+(一/巾)], which is not the original character; the lower character has the fanqie 博教; the Guangzhi says a leopard dies defending its mountain; the Shuowen jiezi says it is the name of a beast, written 豹; the Vinaya text writes it with 犬 as phonetic, which is incorrect).
