What 䱾 means
It names a fish, but no modern species is settled.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary completed around 100 CE, records 䱾 as a fish name, gives 鯉 and 鰜 as alternate names, and explains its parts: 魚 marks the fish meaning, while 婁 supplies the sound. A commentary on the entry distinguishes this 鯉 from the familiar carp with 36 scales; other dictionaries gloss 䱾 as a large blue fish.
