Greatly alarmed (大駭: the second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] hou + kai; the Shuowen says it means "frightened"; Sun Yan says: "When Yu channeled the Nine Rivers, the work on the North River was arduous, and the multitudes feared it would not succeed, hence it was called Tuhai [Vain Alarm]"; the character is formed from horse [馬] with hai as phonetic).
