What 䶣 means
It names a tooth or grinding teeth. In Mandarin, gāi sounds roughly like “guy,” with an unaspirated g and a high, level tone; ái rhymes with “eye” and rises. Southwestern Mandarin also records ài, like “eye” on a falling tone, for grinding or teeth that do not meet.
The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese dictionary from early imperial China, was submitted in 121 CE and records 䶣. 齒 means “tooth” and supplies the meaning; 豈 supplies the sound.
