洲㠀（上音周尒雅云水中可居者曰洲小洲曰渚是也今古正字洲謂在河之中從水州聲下刀老反孔注尚書云海曲謂之島方言海有山可依止曰島說文從山島聲）。

[Islands] (The first character is pronounced 周 [tɕəu]: the *Erya* says, "A place within water where one can dwell is called a 'zhōu' (洲); a small 'zhōu' is called a 'zhǔ' (渚)." The *Jingu zhengzi* says, "'Zhōu' refers to being in the middle of a river; it is formed from 'water' (水) and the 'zhōu' (州) phonetic." The second character has the fanqie of 刀 [t-] and 老 [-ɑu]: Kong's commentary on the *Classic of Documents* says, "A bay in the sea is called a 'dǎo' (島)." The *Fangyan* says, "Where there is a mountain in the sea that can be rested upon, it is called a 'dǎo'." The *Shuowen jiezi* says, "It is formed from 'mountain' (山) and the 'dǎo' (鳥) phonetic").
