Definition
瀑 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'waterfall'. It rarely appears alone in modern Chinese; the common full word is 瀑布 (pùbù). This row lists the pronunciation bào, which is a less common variant used in some place names or classical contexts. As a bound form, it typically combines with other characters (e.g., 瀑流, 飞瀑), but the standard pronunciation for 'waterfall' is pù.
