巉巖（上查巖反下牙衘反楚詞云溪谷巉水增波王逸注云巉巖山澗崎嶇阻也廣雅云巉巖高峻皃也古今正字二字並從山[毚-、]嚴皆聲崎音欺嶇音駈毚土咸反）。

Craggy and precipitous (巉巖: the first character is pronounced *cha* + *yan* [chán]; the second is pronounced *ya* + *xian* [yán]. The *Elegies of Chu* says: 'In the mountain ravines the waters crash precipitously, rising in waves.' Wang Yi's commentary says: '巉巖 describes mountain torrents being rugged and obstructed.' The *Guangya* says: '巉巖 describes a lofty and steep appearance.' The *Gujin zhengzi* states that both characters are formed from the "mountain" radical (山) with [毚-、] and 嚴 as their phonetics. 崎 is pronounced *qi* [qī]; 嶇 is pronounced *qu* [qū]; 毚 is pronounced *tu* + *xian* [chán]).
