垖阜 (Mound and hill: The upper character has the fanqie 都迴 [duī]. The Kaosheng says: 'The appearance of elevated earth, a gathering above.' The Jixun says: 'A high mound or hill.' The Shuowen jiezi writes it 𠂤, [meaning] 'a small hill.' The Shuowen jiezi [also] says: '隗京 [a high hill]; derived from 阜 with the sound 隹.' It is also written with the earth [radical] as 堆, which is identical. The sūtra text writes 塠, which is a vulgar character. 隗 has the fanqie 五猥 [wěi]. The lower character, 阜, has the sound 負 [fù]. The Erya says: 'High and level land is called 陸; a large 陸 is called 阜.' The Guangya says: 'A large mound.' The Shuowen jiezi also says: 'A large tract of land; a mountain without stones; pictographically made as 𠂤.' The Shiming says: 'High and thick earth.')
