3.35

Whirling eddy (旋澓: the first character has the fanqie 似泉 [si + quan / xuán]. The Erya says: "'旋澓' means returning; that is, turning back." The second character is pronounced 復 [fù]. The "Explaining Waters" section of the Erya says: "Flowing up against the current is called '泝洄' [going upstream against an eddy], which is '澓'." The Sancang says: "'澓' means deep; it refers to places in rivers and oceans where water whirls.")
