Plum and sea
[edit]The article misses prunus (also cherry) and the orchid of Mauberley - a different view when comparing Zh "plum" and Zh "sea"
as in 梅 and 海 not to mention venom 毒 and then there is perineum.
Note that sea may also serve as beach, depending on point of view in a poem.
Pound has his fun with us when we fail to look for the symbol.
Note the frequency of "peri-" in Russian ... and our occasional reliance on prunes. Casual gardeners insist in distinctions of cherry and plum ( compare prunus and malus ) ; see rank and "apricot".
