River islets (河渚: the first character is pronounced 河; Erya says, “The Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji are the Four Great Waterways.” Shanhai jing says, “The River emerges from the northwest corner of Kunlun.” Guo's commentary says, “Flowing underground, it churns and washes sand and soil, producing its turbid yellow color.” The second character has the fanqie 章 + 與; Erya says, “Habitable land within water is called a zhōu; a small islet is called a zhǔ.” Wang Yi's commentary to Chu ci says, “A water's edge is called a zhǔ.” Erya writes it with the mound radical as 陼, meaning the same).
