3.122

Eggshell (卵㲉: the first character has the fanqie 落 + 管. The Yupian says: "Bird egg." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Those born in shells without nursing are called luan." The second character has the fanqie 苦 + 角. The Qieyun says: "The shell of a bird egg." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It takes egg [卵] with 𣪊 as phonetic." 𣪊 has the same sound as above. Some editions have it as 毇, which is very contrary to the meaning).
