4.60

牝鹿 (for the first character, [pìn], fanqie 頻忍 [b- + -ɨn = bǐn/pìn]. The Erya says: “A male deer is a jiā; a female deer is a yōu; their fawn is a mí.” This distinguishes male from female and discriminates mother from offspring. 麚 is pronounced 加 [jiā]; 麀 is pronounced with the fanqie 於牛 [ʔ- + -ɨu = ʔɨu/yōu]; 麛 is pronounced 迷 [mí]. For the second character, 鹿 standardly takes 比 as radical.)
