Tày Nôm bên (to fly)

It spells an action in Tày, not the Vietnamese word bên.

Tày Nôm is a logographic script—characters can stand for words or parts of words—built with Han-derived methods to write Tày. Its manuscripts preserve poems and ritual texts. A Tày dictionary gives the sentence “Nộc bên khảu đông” (“The bird flies to the forest”).

One historical argument places the Tày Nôm tradition as early as the 2nd century, when administrators may have needed to record Tày names; that date is a hypothesis, not a dated manuscript. Poems attributed to Bế Văn Phụng and Nông Văn Quỳnh Vân show a mature script by the 16th–17th centuries. These dates concern the writing tradition, not 𫗌’s first appearance.
