Old Zhuang character yaeuh

It spells yaeuh, the Zhuang verb for “to deceive or entice.”

It is also recorded as the same old Zhuang character as 𮪆.

Sawndip is the older square script for Zhuang, a language spoken in southern China; it adapted Chinese character forms to write Zhuang speech. Some Zhuang character readings preserve older layers of Chinese pronunciation, showing the script’s long development. A stone inscription from 682 is among the earliest surviving examples. An account from 1175 describes its use in lawsuits and contracts. Forms varied by region. A Latin-based standard was introduced in 1955.
