base of a mountain, (kokuji)
梺 centers on the base or foot of a mountain, combining the idea of trees (林) with below (下). It is a kokuji created in Japan to express this specific geographical concept.
梺 is a Japanese kokuji, created by combining 林 (woods) and 下 (below) to represent the base of a mountain, where forests meet the flat land.
Picture a mountain with a forest (林) on top, and at the very bottom (下) is the base of the mountain. 梺 is that place where the trees end and the flat land begins.
For ふむと, imagine standing at the base of a mountain and feeling the soft 'fumu' of the earth underfoot, then looking 'to' the top. Fumu-to -> ふむと.
