About
漯 is a phono-semantic compound used mainly in proper nouns for rivers and places. It combines the water radical 氵 (shuǐ), indicating an aquatic feature, with the phonetic element 累 (lèi). The character has two distinct readings: luò, which refers exclusively to the modern prefecture-level city of Luohe (漯河) in Henan province, on the Sha River; and tà, which historically named the ancient Ta River (漯水) in northern China.
