2.278

沈溺（上池林反顧野王曰沈沒也說文從水冘聲也冘音淫下泥歷反禮記孔子曰君子溺于口小人溺于水說文云沒水中正從人作㲻今通作溺水溺說文水名也書曰道弱水西流至合𥠖）。

沈溺 (The upper character is pronounced 池 + 林 fanqie. Gu Yewang says: '沈 means to submerge.' The Shuowen says: 'It derives from 水 with 冘 as phonetic.' 冘 is pronounced 淫. The lower character is pronounced 泥 + 歷 fanqie. The Liji states that Confucius said: 'A gentleman is drowned by his mouth; a petty man is drowned by water.' The Shuowen says: 'Submerged in water; properly it derives from 人 as 㲻, but nowadays it is commonly written as 溺.' 水溺 in the Shuowen is the name of a river; the Shangshu says: 'He guided the Ruoshui eastward to flow west to Heti').
