Floating sounding-stones (捊磬) (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 扶尤 [fú + yóu = fú]: the Shangshu says, "On the banks of the Si river, floating sounding-stones (fuqing)." Kong [Anguo]'s commentary says, "Stones found in the water suitable for making chimes." The Shuowen says it is classified under the radical 水 with 孚 as its phonetic; the Collected [Edition] writes it with the radical 手 as 捊, pronounced with the fanqie 蒲溝 [pú + gōu = póu]; the Han Poetry says, "捊 means to gather," which does not suit the meaning of sounding-stones).
