滲漏（上參禁反廣雅滲盡也司馬相如封禪頌曰滋液滲漉說文水下漉也形聲字下樓豆反許叔重注淮南子云漏穿也顧野王云漏猶泄也失也說文云以銅器盛水漏下分時晝夜共為百刻周禮挈壺氏之所掌形聲字或為屚字象形屋屚字也）。

滲漏 [Seeping and leaking]: The first character is read with the fanqie 參 [sh-] + 禁 [-èn] (shèn). The Guangya says: '滲 means exhausted.' Sima Xiangru's Fengshan Song says: 'Moist liquids soak and seep through.' The Shuowen says: 'Water trickling down; a phono-semantic character.' The second character is read with the fanqie 樓 [l-] + 豆 [-òu] (lòu). Xu Shuzhong's Commentary on the Huainanzi says: '漏 means pierced through.' Gu Yewang says: '漏 is like leaking; losing.' The Shuowen says: 'Using a copper vessel to hold water, letting it drip down to divide the time, making a total of one hundred quarters (ke) for day and night; this is what the Director of the Clepsydra in the Rites of Zhou oversees; a phono-semantic character.' Sometimes written as 屚, a pictographic character for a leaking house.
