I've never heard enceinte used except to mean pregnant, which google informs me is just an earlier borrowing from French.
Baike: Oaks and Yu -- both plants are kinds of oaks, shrubs that grow as a thicket. IDK why Legge chooses to translate Yu this way when it makes the last stanza, that is about the ancient country of Yu, seem like it's the same word, but it's not.
Apparently there are five famous migrations of the Zhou people, in pursuit of fertile land. In this case, the Baike describes that they were invaded by the Kunyi nomadic people, so they had to migrate from Bin (county in Shaanxi) to Qishan (also in Shaanxi)
