Moist and warm (溼煗; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 深入 [shī]. Gu Yewang states: '溼 (shī) means moist.' The Gujin zhengzi states: 'It means dark and damp. It takes 𢆶 and 一 covering the earth with water beneath, hence moist. 𢆶 is the ancient character for 幽 [dark].' In the treatise text, writing it as 濕 is incorrect. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 奴短 [nuǎn]. The Shuowen jiezi states: '煗 (nuǎn) means moist warmth. It takes "fire" [火] as radical and 耎 as phonetic; 耎 is pronounced with the fanqie 而兖 [ruǎn]').
