Vietnamese Chữ Nôm character for mấp

𱒹 writes the Vietnamese word mấp, as in mấp máy, “to twitch or move slightly.” It belongs to Chữ Nôm, a Vietnamese writing system built from Han-style characters; a verse attributed to Hồ Xuân Hương gives mấp máy a suggestive double meaning.

What 𱒹 means

It writes mấp, meaning a slight movement or twitch.

Chữ Nôm used Han-style characters to give Vietnamese words written forms. Here, 𱒹 pairs 口, a meaning component for “mouth,” with 汲 as a sound cue.

A verse attributed to the Vietnamese poet Hồ Xuân Hương uses mấp máy for movement with a suggestive second reading.

Literary and suggestive in Hồ Xuân Hương's verse; otherwise a Vietnamese word-form.

A literal-only reading misses the poem's innuendo.
