溝坑（上苟侯反考工記云井間廣四尺深四尺謂之溝鄭注周禮云十夫二隣之田溝所以通於川也說文云溝水瀆也從水冓聲經本從土作𡏞非也冓音同下客庾反爾雅云阬墟也蒼頡篇坑㕡也陷也壍也古今正字從𨸏亢聲經本從土作坑通用亢音坑）。

溝坑 (The first character has the fanqie *gou* + *hou* [gōu]. The *Kaogongji* states: "Between well-fields, four feet wide and four feet deep is called a *gōu*." Zheng's commentary on the *Zhouli* states: "The drainage ditch (*gōu*) of the fields of ten men and two neighboring hamlets is that by which waters connect to streams." The *Shuowen* states: "A *gōu* is a water ditch. Formed with *shui* (water) and has *gou* phonetic." Sūtra editions write it with *tu* (earth) as 𡏞, which is incorrect. 冓 has the same pronunciation. The second character has the fanqie *ke* + *yu* [kěng/kēng]. The *Erya* states: "A *kēng* is a pit-mound." The *Cang Jie Pian* states: "A *kēng* is a ravine; a hollow; a moat." The *Gujin zhengzi* states: "Formed with *fu* (mound) and has *kang* phonetic." Sūtra editions write it with *tu* (earth) as 坑, which is in common use. 亢 is pronounced 坑 [kēng]).
