Each entry gives the term in traditional and simplified form, its pinyin, the senses it carries in the classical corpus, the passages where it does real work, and how published translations have rendered it.
gǔ zhàng
The abdomen distended like a drum: eat at dawn and you cannot eat at dusk. Chapter 40 answers it with chicken-draff wine and adds the condition that makes the cure fail — eating without measure, so that the qi gathers in the belly again.
suǒ zé
The second of the two transmissions of disease of the third yang: 三陽爲病，發寒熱，下爲癰腫，及爲痿厥腨㾓，其傳爲索澤，其傳爲頽疝. The third yang falls ill with cold and heat, sends sores down to the lower body, brings flaccidity and cramping in the calves — and then transmits. One transmission is 索澤: the moisture is used up and the skin goes lustreless. The other is 頽疝, a swelling that hangs. The chapter gives the pair as the two directions the same heat can go — outward to the surface, downward to the private parts — and 索澤 names the outward one.
kǒu zào
The mouth dry for want of fluid. The book uses it twice, and the two uses divide the word: in lesser yin disease the dryness comes with thirst and a dry tongue, because heat is burning the kidney water; in the dampness patient it comes with a wish for water that cannot be drunk, because the fluid will not rise. Dryness with thirst and dryness without it are not the same complaint.
gān ǒu
Retching with nothing brought up. It appears once, in the wind strike paragraph, paired with a ringing in the nose, and both are read as wind disturbing the stomach and the lung's qi. The book distinguishes it from 嘔逆 not by severity but by what the word points at: 嘔逆 names the qi going the wrong way, 乾嘔 names the empty effort that results.
