Gu Yewang says: 'When a person lives on land yet is as if drowned and unheard of at the imperial court, that is land-submergence.' The lower character is pronounced lún. The Kaosheng says: '淪 means to soak; z-[i]-s-[i] fan.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'To sink; it derives from 水 [water] with 侖 [lún] phonetic; 侖 is pronounced lún').
