  • edit character approved — "Basically paraphrased 《說文新證》rather than trust 漢語多功能字庫's interpretation of it being a man climbing a tree. I don't know how this was "to dawdle" before. Made me confuse it with 夋 in my flashcards. This has components identified but no etymology or role for the components." by cochleoid
