滴霤 (The first character has the fanqie dou + li. The Qieyun says: 'Water dripping.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A bank; it derives from "water" with the abbreviated phonetic di.' The second character has the fanqie li + jiu. On examination, 滴霤 should properly be written as 溜. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Water flowing.' Dictionaries say: 'A small stream.' It is currently written as 霤. The Shuowen jiezi says: '霤 is the name of a spirit,' which is not the usage here).
