87.29

汧渭 The Qian and Wei rivers: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 遣 + 堅; the second is pronounced 謂 (wèi). Names of two rivers. The Book of Han commentary says: 'The Qian River originates north of Qianyang County and flows into the inlet of the Wei River.' The Shuowen says both characters take the water radical (水); 幵 and 胃 are both phonetic; 幵 is pronounced 堅 (jiān).
