To pour down (降澍: the first character is pronounced 江 + 巷 fanqie; Erya says: 降 means to descend; Jixun says: to fall; Cang Jie pian writes it as 𡲣, whose explanation and gloss are the same as Erya; it takes fu [阜] as its classifier and 夅 as its phonetic; the second character is pronounced 主 + 戍 fanqie; Huainanzi says: 'The drenching and pouring of spring rains leave no place where life does not emerge'; Shuowen also says: timely rain pouring down brings all things to life; it takes shui [水] as its classifier and 尌 as its phonetic).
