41.40

Swirling vortex (洄澓: the first character is pronounced 回 [huí]. The sūtra text uses the ancient character [?回], which, although correct, is not used in modern times. The Erya says: "Going up against the current is called 泝洄." Guo Pu says: "A whirlpool." The second character is pronounced 復 [fù]; it is also written 洑, also meaning a swirling of water. The Shuowen derives it from 水 with 復 as phonetic).
