Wu Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Vessel (mǐn) Kangxi stroke count: 11 Page 794, Entry 09 Pronounced yu. The swirling of water in a basin. From Sea Rhapsody (Haifu) by Mu Hua: The basin swirls and eddies to form a pit. Also pronounced wu. Same meaning. Also pronounced wu (falling tone). Same as the terms for stagnant or dirty water. In the Classified Anthology (Leipian), this was originally written as the character for stagnant water. According to the Correct Meaning Dictionary (Zhengzitong), the character for basin swirling and the characters for stagnant water are distinct. The Sound Anthology (Jiyun) is mistaken in combining these three characters into one.
