Shuowen gloss: 灌水.出盧江雩婁.從水.�聲.

Comments:

Schüssler for some reason considers this word to be a variant of 貫 *kʷān
'to go through the center' - which is both semantically and phonetically
improbable.

Other attested meanings are 'be clamoring' (within a reduplication and
obviously onomatopoeic) and 'to pour'.

The basic meaning of the character is 'name of a river (Guanjiang)' (this
is the gloss found in Shuowen); but during Early Zhou the only attested usage of
it is for the homonymous 'thickly growing bushes', 'be clamoring' and 'to pour'.
