4.91

Torrential flow (baoliu 瀑流: the first character has the fanqie [reading] bo + bao [pu]. The Guangyun says: "Heavy rain." The Erya says: "A sudden downpour is called dong." Guo says: "East of the [Yangtze] River, summer torrential rain is called dong, pronounced dong." The Yupian says: "Swift." It takes 'water' [as semantic component] and bao as phonetic. As for the character liu 流 below, the Shuowen [jiezi] says it takes 'water' [as semantic component] and 㐬; 㐬 has the fanqie [reading] ta + hu [tu], which is the ancient script for 㜽 written upside down; 㜽 is pronounced zi. In the text of the scripture it is written 流, which is incorrect).
