41.183

溼木 "Damp wood" (Pronounced shi-ru [shi]. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Dark and damp; formed from 水 'water' and 一 covering the ground where there is water, hence wet." In the scripture it is written 濕, which is incorrect; 濕 is pronounced ta-za, the name of a river in Dongwuyang, not the character for moisture. The person taking dictation did not know the standard orthodox character).
