Tree-fruits and ground-melons (果蓏: the first has the sound *guo* [guǒ], being a vulgar character; the second is [pronounced] *lu* + *guo* [luǒ]. Those growing on trees are called *guǒ*; those on the ground are called *luǒ*. It is a phono-semantic character taking the 'grass' radical [草] and two *guā* [瓜]).
