Boat and raft (船橃: the upper character has the fanqie shùn + zhuān [chuán]; a boat is a vessel; the Fangyan states: 'From the Pass westward, a zhōu is called a chuán'. The lower character has the fanqie fán + wà [fá]; binding bamboo to float on water is called a fá; Guangya writes it with 舟 "boat" as 𦪑; Shuowen jiezi has it derived from 木 "wood" with 發 phonetic; in the sūtra text it is written with 竹 "bamboo" as 筏, which is a vulgar character; the various character dictionaries do not contain this character).
