汪哉（烏光反杜注左傳汪池王注楚辭大水廣無極也漢書汪汪萬頃之陂也說文作汪水深廣也從水王聲下音灾韻詮語助也說文言之間也從口[木/戈]聲[木/戈]音同俗作㢤）。

汪哉 (pronounced with the fanqie 烏光 [wu + guang]. Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan states: '汪 means a pool.' Wang's commentary on the Chuci states: 'Great waters vast without limit.' The Hanshu states: 'Vast and boundless (汪汪), a marsh of ten thousand qing.' The Shuowen writes it as 汪: 'Deep and wide waters; formed from radical 水 with 王 as the phonetic.' The lower character is pronounced 灾 [zai]; the Yunquan states: 'A grammatical particle.' The Shuowen states: 'A pause between words; formed from radical 口 with [木/戈] as the phonetic.' [木/戈] has the same sound; popularly written as 㢤).
