不通 (bù tōng) — (road, pipe) be obstructed, blocked; (phone, internet) unable to get through; (writing, reasoning) not make sense, illogical

Literally 'not pass through': it describes a channel being blocked (road, phone, writing) so nothing gets through — physical, communicative, or logical blockage. The 通/不通 pair captures both senses in one verb.
