號泣 (The first character is pronounced 胡 + 刀 fanqie. The Qieyun says: 'To wail.' The Erya says: 'Dancing and wailing constitutes the rain-sacrifice.' Guo Pu's commentary says: 'The rain-sacrifice involves sighing and pleading for rain.' The Shuowen jiezi gives the form 唬. The second character is pronounced 去 + 急 fanqie. The Qieyun says: 'To weep and sob.' The Kaosheng says: 'Shedding tears without making sound is called qi.' It takes 水 as semantic and 立 as phonetic).
