Stirring and churning (搯淈: the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 討刀 [tāo]; the transmitted text writes it with the 'water' radical as 洮. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu states: '洮 means washing hands'; this is not the original meaning and is not adopted here. For 搯, the Zuo zhuan says: 'Turning to the left and stirring to the left.' The Zhou shu says: 'The army then drew weapons and stabbed and struck.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '搯棺 [tāo guān, meaning to pull or cover a coffin]'; the pronunciation is the fanqie 椀活 [wō]; it takes the 'hand' radical and 舀 phonetic; 舀 is pronounced 滔 [tāo]. The second character has the two pronunciations 鶻 [hú] and 骨 [gǔ]. The character dictionaries say: '淈 means stirring to make muddy.' The Cang Jie pian states: 'The appearance of flowing water.' For clearing water channels, 淈 is also written as 汩. The Erya says: '汩 means clearing.' Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu states: 'Opening its streams.' The Guangya states: 'It means flowing.' The Shuowen jiezi has it with the 'water' radical and 屈 phonetic. 淈 and 汩 are identical in sound).
