2.31

豺狼 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie *ch-*, [chai], from 牀 and 皆; it is a mountain beast. The *Erya* states: 'The dhole has canine paws.' The *Shuowen* states: 'It is also of the wolf kind; it takes 豸 as semantic and 才 as phonetic.' Sūtra texts write it with 犬 as 犲, which is incorrect. Note: of dholes there are two kinds: the first is called the dhole-lord (豺郎), and the second is called the dhole-slave (豺奴). The smaller ones go first to hunt together; once they have captured and killed beasts, they dare not eat them immediately, but wait for the dhole-lord. Hence the *Yueling* states, 'The dholes offer up beasts in sacrifice,' which refers to this matter. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie *l-*, [lang], from 洛 and 當. The *Shuowen* states: 'The wolf resembles a dog with a sharp head and white cheeks; it is a ferocious beast. It takes 犬 as semantic and 良 as phonetic; it is a phono-semantic character.')
