淵壑 [yuānhè] (The fanqie of the first character is wu + xuan. The Shuowen says: 'A deep body of water. It has the radical 水 (water) and yuan as phonetic.' On account of imperial taboo, the sound of quán [spring] is used instead. The second character has the fanqie he + ge. The Shanhaijing says: 'Hè means a ravine.' The Erya says: 'An emptiness.' The Shuowen says: 'A ditch. It has the radicals 𡽊 and 谷 [valley].' The Jiwen writing it with the radical 土 as [((├/(同-(一/口)+、))*又)/土] is also acceptable).
