Mounds and knolls (堆阜: the upper character is pronounced dāng-léi fan [duī]. The Kaosheng says: "The appearance of high earth." The Shuowen says: "A small mound." It takes tǔ [earth] as radical and zhuī as phonetic. Some write it as 塠, which is a popular variant; the ancient script writes it as 𠂤. The lower character is pronounced fú-jiǔ fan [fù], an Wu-Yue pronunciation; the Yunying says it is pronounced fú-wǔ fan. The Erya says: "A vast plateau is called a fù." The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: "Fù means large." The Kaosheng says: "Of the mound class." Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu says: "Fù means thick/substantial." The Guangya says: "What has no stones is called a fù." It derives from 𠂤 (dū-huí fan); vulgar forms take shí [ten] to make 阜; the ancient script writes it as 𠂤 piled three times; the large seal script makes it 隹, pictographic).
