火燔 ('burning with fire'; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 伐 + 袁. The Kaosheng says: "'Fan' (燔) means to burn." The Mao commentary on the Shijing says: "Roasting by applying fire is called 'fan'." The Guangya says: "'Fan' means to dry." The Shuowen says it is formed from [the radical] 火 with 番 as the phonetic component, which is the orthodox character shape past and present).
