[QUOTE="Morat, post: 312158, member: 3008"] Here, I'll break down [i]exactly[/i] how to get there. I would have thought you could navigate your own reference based on simple comments, but we'll try this like you were a child, okay? Go to [URL="http://zhongwen.com/"]http://zhongwen.com/[/URL] Type in ship. Click the one we've been discussing (you know, the one with the "maybe eight" on the right side. On the right side of the screen, you see the definitin of chuan. Click the hyperlink of the phonetic. You'll note it says "Seperate (ba symbol) or instead an abbreviation for water (some symbol). Here's the fun part. Look on the bottom right side. There are three words that use that phonetic. Yan, water flowing along a ravine. Qian, metal that flows in a mold/ravine, and ship which is labelled as "boat" with a phonetic. It's odd how that works. Your own site clearly lists the ba symbol as a simple phonetic. The other two words which use it are clearly identified with flowing liquid. [/QUOTE]
