61.32

Shoals and rocky shallows (灘磧): The first character has the fanqie 炭 (t-) plus 丹 (-an); sand emerging from water is called a 灘. The second character has the pronunciation of 戚; a 磧 is the larger of the sandbars, also containing rocks. The Guangya states that 磧 means shallows (瀨); it also states that sand and rocks exposed when water dries up are called 灘磧. Both are phonetic-ideographic characters.
