2.14

Whirlpool / backwater (洄澓) (The first [character] has the fanqie hù + huī [huí]. The Erya states: 'Going upstream against the current is called sùhuí.' The second [character] has the fanqie fú + fú [fù]. The Sancang states: 'Fù means deep, referring to a place of whirling currents in rivers or seas.' In the Shuowen both derive from water (水), with huí (回) and fù (復) both acting as phonetics).
