Clouds and hail (雲雹: the second character has the fanqie *p- / m-*, the Baihutong states: "Bao (雹, hail) means he (合, gathering); the yin qi condenses exclusively and aggregates into hail"; Zheng's commentary on the Liji states: "Yang makes rain, and yin qi constrains it, freezing it into hail"; it is derived from yu 雨 (rain) with bao 包 as phonetic).
