滕

• Proper noun: The ancient state of Teng (modern Shandong province), appearing frequently in historical and genealogical texts from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
• Verb/Adjective: Water moving with upward or outward force, such as surging, bubbling up, or overflowing; denotes turbulence and active motion rather than steady flow.

While 滕 specifically suggests a "watery" surge, its variant 騰 refers more generally to leaping, rising rapidly, or sudden increase.

Frequently interchangeable in ancient texts with 騰 (horse radical).

In contexts involving kinetic energy or rapid ascent without a clear connection to water, treat the glyph as a variant of 騰.
