3.37

Boats and rafts (船筏: the first character has the fanqie 食川 [shi + chuan / chuán]. The Fangyan says: "East of the Pass it is called '船', west of the Pass it is called '舟'." The Shuowen says: "It is formed with 舟 [boat] as the radical and the abbreviated form of 沿 as the phonetic component; 沿 has the fanqie 與專 [yu + zhuan]. In the inscriptions of lead and tin, and in '沿' as in following a current, they are all the same." In scripture texts it is written as 船 or as 舡, neither of which is the original character. The second character is also written 橃 or 𦪑, all pronounced with the fanqie 扶月 [fu + yue / fá]. The Fangyan says: "It means '𥱼' [raft]; bamboos or logs lashed together to float on rivers for transporting goods." 𥱼 has the fanqie 蒲住 [pu + zhu / fù].)
