膿河（奴冬反說文膿㿈疽潰血也從月農聲膿河者餓鬼以自業力見水如膿河也）。

"River of pus" (Fanqie: 奴 + 冬 [nóng]. The Shuowen jiezi says: '膿 means broken blood from ulcers and sores.' It derives from the flesh (月) radical with 農 as phonetic. The 'river of pus' means that hungry ghosts, through their own karmic power, see water as a river of pus).
