說文解字 - Shuowen: 《人部》倨不遜也。从人居聲。

康熙字典文字版 【子集中】【人字部】倨
【唐韻】【韻會】【正韻】𠀤居御切，音據。倨傲，不遜。【禮·曲禮】遊毋倨。【呂氏春秋】貴爲天子，而不驕倨。　又【淮南子·覽冥訓】臥倨倨，興眄眄。【註】倨倨，臥無思慮也。　又矩之直者爲倨，折而衡者爲句。磬有倨句，戈亦有倨句，詳【周禮·冬官考工記】。又【禮·樂記】倨中矩，句中鉤。【註】倨，微曲也。　又箕坐也。【前漢·張耳傳】高祖箕倨。　倨牙，獸牙倨曲也。《爾雅·釋畜》駮如馬，倨牙。疏：其牙倨曲。
考證：〔又倨牙，獸名。【爾雅·釋畜】駮如馬倨牙。【註】倨牙音如鼓。食虎豹。〕　謹按爾雅倨牙乃駮馬之形狀，非獸名也。謹改爲倨牙，獸牙倨曲也。爾雅釋畜駮如馬倨牙。疏其牙倨曲。
