Hailstorm [雹雨] (fanqie: 蒲角 [báo]; the Baihu tong says: "Hail [雹] is derived from the word 'congeal' [合]; the yin qi gathers its essence and congeals together to become hail." Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Liji says: "When yang arises for yin, the vapor congeals and becomes hail." The Shiming says: "雹 [báo] means to trample [跑]; whatever it strikes is broken and snapped as if kicked and trampled [跑] by a person"; 跑 has the fanqie 父學 [páo]).
