<< review queue entry 41833 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> this is one of the two components in 毚 (which is used as phonetic in many characters) 【說文解字】獸也。似兔，青色而大。象形。頭與兔同，足與鹿同。凡㲋之屬皆从㲋。 the most puzzling thing about this beast is its color. 青. who knows what did they mean by that during the Han dynasty? probably black, since animals can't really be blue or green (although the entry in Unihan does surprisingly say 'blue') this was probably a kind of deer, with long rabbit-like ears and hooves |

+ 㲋 㲋 [chuo4] /ancient name for an animal similar to rabbit but bigger/ |
