What 巊 means
Mountain name or height; 巊冥 adds dark mountain air. Alone, it names a mountain or height; with 冥, it evokes dark, indistinct air.
The earliest literary appearance is in Zuo Si’s Western Jin-era 《吴都赋》, a landscape poem built from maps, local records, customs, and earlier accounts. A Tang commentary glosses 巊冥 as dark mountain air; 巊溟 is a recorded variant.
