| Shuowen: | 《食部》飢：餓也。从食几聲。 |
| Guangyun: | 《廣韻·上平聲·脂·飢》飢：飢餓也，又姓左傳殷人七族有飢氏。居夷切，四。 |
| Kangxi: | 《康熙字典·食部·二》飢：《唐韻》《集韻》居夷切《韻會》居狋切，𠀤音肌。《玉篇》餓也。《書·舜典》黎民阻飢。《爾雅·釋天》穀不熟爲飢。《註》五穀不成。《又》仍飢爲荐。《註》連歲不熟。《韓詩外傳》一穀不升曰歉，二穀不升曰飢。又《正字通》國名。西伯伐飢國，滅之。又姓。《左傳·定四年》殷民七族，有飢氏。又漢有大豪飢恬。○按《說文》飢、饑二字，飢訓餓，居夷切，饑訓穀不熟，居衣切。汪來虞方伯說，饑饉之饑从幾，飢渴之飢从几，諸韻書俱分列支微兩韻，止《集韻》飢字訓或从幾，經傳頗通用。《長箋》云：近代喜茂密者通作饑，趨𥳑便者通作飢，遂成兩謬。經傳不誤，恐傳寫之譌也。《集韻》別作𩚮。 《龍龕》同𩚚。 考證：〔《左傳·定二年》殷人七族，有飢氏。〕謹照原文二年改四年。殷人改殷民。 |
