Sounds like jia. Analytical Dictionary of Chinese Characters (Shuowen): Refers to the butterfly. Extended Notes (Changjian): Its shape appears as if it is clamped or held, therefore it is derived from the character for clamp, with the addition of the insect radical. Materia Medica (Bencao): The butterfly is light and delicate, flying with its wings held together. For a detailed explanation, see the entry for butterfly. Also, Collected Rhymes (Jiyun): Pronounced qia. Also pronounced jia. The meaning is the same.
