English meaning : be pillar-like; turn round, turn back

Russian meaning[s]: 1) род ивы; 2) стар. мемориальная колонна; 3) Хуань (фамилия)

Comments: The word was also has a homonymous reading *wār "martial-looking", written in Shijing both as 桓 and as 丸, and in the sense "turn round" it is probably identical to 丸. The radicalless shape of the character is encountered already in Yin inscriptions, with the meaning "turn round". The original meaning of the character 桓 proper, however, was "pillar", attested only since Late Zhou.
