10.122

Wozhen 沃朕 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [w- + -ò > w-] wū kù 反. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Wo 沃 means to pour or irrigate." It takes the water radical with 夭 as the phonetic. The second character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [zh- + -ěn > zh-] zhí rěn 反. The Erya says: "Zhen 朕 means I / me." The Shiji says: "In antiquity, both the noble and the base referred to themselves as zhen; beginning from the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin, the Son of Heaven alone used this term." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It takes the boat radical, written as 𦨶").
