What does 濲 mean?

It names a watercourse. The Taiwan Ministry of Education’s variant dictionary says 說文, an early Chinese character dictionary, does not include 濲. It traces later entries through 玉篇, 廣韻, 集韻, 四聲篇海, and 正字通; one later dictionary glosses 濲 as the Gu River in Henan.

The earliest dictionary witness in that trail is 玉篇, compiled in 543. A geographic account from 2022 uses 瀫水 for Zhejiang’s Qu–Lanjiang system. The use stays geographic, while the named watercourse and written form differ by source.
