Si Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Fire (huo) Character: Xiong Kangxi Strokes: 14 Page 679, Entry 12 Compendium of Phonology (Jiyun) and Classified Dictionary (Leipian) state it is pronounced neng. It means hot. Correct Interpretation of Characters (Zhengzitong) states it is the same as the character for bear. Vulgar writing distinguishes two sounds and two meanings, which is incorrect. Note that the character for bear and this character appear to be the same word written in different forms, though this character is composed of the components for energy and fire. The Compendium of Phonology and the Classified Dictionary define it as heat, which should also have its basis. Both are currently preserved.
