82.104

Saline-alkali soil (the upper character is pronounced with the fanqie 星亦 [s- + -iɛk = siɛk], or written with the water radical as 瀉. The Kaosheng says: "鹵 denotes barren land." The Yunquan says: "鹵 is salty land; sometimes written 㡿, which means salt marsh, probably because it is forsaken by humans, hence called 㡿鹵." The lower character is pronounced like 魯, its meaning being the same as above).
