2.13

Rushing rapids (湍激) (The first [character] has the fanqie tǔ + guān [tuān]. The second has the fanqie gǔ + lì [jī]. The Shuowen states: 'Tuān means a shallow rapid. Shallow water flowing over sand is called tuān. Water patterns congealing and surging swiftly is called jī.' Both derive from water (水), with the phonetics zhuān (耑) and jiào (敫). The character níng (凝) is in the departing tone; 耑 has the sound duān, and 敫 has the same pronunciation as above).
