滋茂（上子慈反考聲云滋溼也多也孔注尚書云滋益也長也蒼頡篇云液也文字典說從水茲聲）。

滋茂 ('luxuriant and flourishing'; the upper character is pronounced 子 [zǐ] + 慈 [cí] fanqie. The Kaosheng says: '滋 [zī] means moist; it also means numerous.' Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: '滋 [zī] means to increase; it also means to grow.' The Cangjie pian says: 'Liquid/moisture.' The Wenzidian shuo has it composed of 水 ['water'] with 茲 as phonetic).
