2.41

雷震 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie *l-*, [lei], from 魯 and 迴. Wang Chong's *Lunheng* states: 'With heaven and earth as the furnace, and yin and yang as the qi, their striking against one another produces sound.' The *Shuowen* has the orthodox form as 靁, taking 雨 as semantic and 畾 as phonetic. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie *zh-*, [zhen], from 章 and 認. The *Qieyun* states: 'It means to shake; it means to arise.' The *Shuowen* states: 'It takes 雨 as semantic and 辰 as phonetic.')
