Leap over a pit [[趒-土+禾]坑]: The first character (tian + diao [tiáo]) is explained in the Yunji: 'Tiáo means to skip over.' The Shuowen says: 'The hopping of sparrows; formed with "walk/run" [𧺆] as radical and zhào [兆] as phonetic; it is also written as 跳.' The second character (ke + geng [kēng]) is explained in the Erya: 'Kēng is a ruined mound.' The Cang Jie pian states: 'A gully; a pitfall.'
