92.133

Gradual passing of time (荏苒: the first character is rèn + qǐn fanqie [rěn]; the second is ér + yǎn fanqie [rǎn]. The Yunlüe says: "荏苒 is the appearance of grass coloration." Note that 荏苒 is like what is nowadays called drifting along or letting time slip by. The Shuowen says: "荏 has the grass radical 廾, with 任 as phonetic. 苒 has the grass radical 廾, with 冉 as phonetic." 舟 has the same sound as […]; 廾 is pronounced like 草 [cǎo]).
