Glistening dew 泫露 (pronounced [玄 + 犬] *xuàn*. The Wenzidian says: "It means the glistening of dew." It takes 水 [water] as radical and 玄 as phonetic. In the anthology it is written with 貝 as radical, as 贙, but character dictionaries all state that this is the name of a beast; it does not have the meaning of *xuanlu* [glistening dew]).
