Circulating (循環: for the first character, the fanqie is 夕遵 [xún]. The Yunying says: 'To inspect and go around.' The Kaosheng says: 'To follow, to comply with.' The Shuowen says: '循 means to walk. It takes radical 彳 [chǐ] with 盾 [shùn] as phonetic.' The sūtra text writing it with radical 人, a vertical stroke, and 千 as [佸-口+目] is incorrect. For the second character, the fanqie is 華關 [huán]. Zheng Zhong's commentary on the Zhouli says: '環 means to rotate.' Zheng Xuan says: '環 means to surround.' He Xiu's commentary on the Gongyang zhuan says: '環 means to encircle.' The Shuowen says: 'It takes radical 玉 with 睘 as phonetic').
