漣漪

Rebracketing of *漣猗 (OC *ren qral, “ripple + exclamatory particle”) in a verse of the Classic of Poetry, poem 112 (《詩經·魏風·伐檀》), reinterpreted as if it is a lianmianci (unanalysable disyllabic morpheme) (Hu, 2013):

坎坎伐檀兮，寘之河之干兮，河水清且漣猗。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, trad.]

坎坎伐檀兮，寘之河之干兮，河水清且涟猗。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, simp.]

From: The Classic of Poetry, c. 11^th – 7^th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Kǎnkǎn fá tán xī, zhì zhī hé zhī gān xī, héshuǐ qīng qiě lián yī. [Pinyin]

Kan-kan go his blows on the sandal trees,
And he places what he hews on the river's bank,
Whose waters flow clear and rippling.
