Comment: << review queue entry 41446 - submitted by 'alanwatson' >>
MoE gives two main entries for this 田界 and 邊側﹑旁側.
Zdict has:
 1. 田地的界限。
 2. 边:河~。湖~。桥~。耳~。枕~。
 3. 〔~援〕横暴,跋扈,如“帝谓文王,无然~~。”亦称“畔换”、“叛换”。
 4. 古同“叛”。
There are lots of examples outside the 'bank' or 'field' meaning. My local swimming pool has regulations about the 池畔 (3.7m g hits). Jukuu has entries like"
玩花池,在“吴王井”畔
狗伏在他的身畔
泉畔的生命又恢复常态。

Jukuu has many fewer entries for zdict's third meaning, but it does have

He's so aggressive I always feel ill-at-ease in his company.
他太爱寻畔了,因此在他的公司里我老是觉得不自在。
and
Jack picked a fight with Barry and came off worst.
杰克寻畔和巴里打架,结果大吃其苦头。

I confess that I am not sure how to reflect this meaning and leave it to others to suggest entries for 尋畔 or 畔援.

Editor: Sorry to take so long to process your submission, Alan.

寻畔 in the jukuu examples is a mistake -- should be written 寻衅.

Mostly commonly used for the edge of bodies of water:
「好萊塢星光系列」的芭比們則穿著首映典禮、記者會、游泳池畔等不同場合的服飾,比真實的好萊塢明星還美。
In the Hollywood Movie Star Collection, Barbie shows up at movie premieres, press conferences and the poolside. She's actually more beautiful than a real-life Hollywood starlet.

but also as in the following example
... 直到父親罹癌讓她辭去工作,在病床畔守了一整年。
Her life changed when her father was diagnosed with cancer, an event that prompted her to quit her job and spend a year at his bedside.
Diff:
- 畔 畔 [pan4] /bank/field-path/
# + 畔 畔 [pan4] /field boundary/-side (used in compounds)/beside/bank (of river etc.)/
+ 畔 畔 [pan4] /edge/side/boundary/bank (of a river etc)/shore/
