Sinking and drowning (沈溺: the first character is pronounced [池 + 林] c-hén [chén]. The Mao Poetry says: "沈 (chen) means submerged." The Shuowen says: "Thirsty. It derives from 冘." 冘 is pronounced 淫 [yín]. The second character is pronounced [寧 + 歷] n-ì [nì]. The Shuowen derives it from 人 and 水, written 休, meaning a person submerged in water; it derives from 水 with 弱 as phonetic).
