shake while rinsing, pan for gold, (kokuji)
閖 centers on the action of shaking something in water to separate or clean it, such as rinsing by shaking or panning for gold. It is a Japanese-made kokuji.
閖 is a kokuji (Japanese-created kanji) combining 門 (gate) and 水 (water). The exact historical reasoning is uncertain, but it likely represents the action of shaking water at a gate-like structure, as in rinsing or panning.
Picture a gate 門 with water 水 flowing through it. You are shaking a pan of water and gravel at the gate to rinse and find gold.
For ゆり, imagine shaking the pan so vigorously that the water makes a 'yuri-yuri' swaying motion: ゆり -> ゆり, and the gold settles at the bottom.
