Rare form of 藔

It names a modest shelter. Mandarin reads 𦾍 liáo; 藔 adds the grass component 艹 to 寮, a hut word associated with thatch.

Why does 𦾍 appear in old records?

This spelling preserves an older shelter word. A poem from the Tang dynasty uses 寮 for a monk’s lodging; Song poems use it for grass huts. From the late Ming, records in Fujian, Taiwan, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Hainan use 藔 alongside 寮. Early nineteenth-century land contracts alternate them in hut and settlement names. Some Tang and Song tea names containing 寮 came from place names, not a separate tea meaning.
