2.56

泳游 (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie *y-*, [yong], from 榮 and 柄. The *Erya* states: 'Moving underwater is called diving (泳).' Guo Pu's commentary states: 'Moving along the bottom of the water.' The *Yanzi Chunqiu* states: 'Moving submerged against the current for a hundred paces, or with the current for seven li.' The second character is pronounced with the fanqie *y-*, [you], from 以 and 周. The *Erya* states: 'Going down with the current is called floating and swimming (泝游).' The *Shuowen* states: 'It takes 水 [water] as semantic and 斿 as phonetic.' Sūtra texts write it as [游-方+(十/十)], a vulgar variant, not orthodox.)
