What 槬 means
It marks the oversized side of a bell’s proportions.
One early textual attestation appears in the Zuo Zhuan, a classical Chinese chronicle, in an episode set in 521 BCE. King Jing of Zhou prepares a ritual bell called 無射; a musician warns that poor proportions will spoil its sound.
槬 and 摦 are distinct characters, though Chinese dictionaries connect them. Here, 槬 marks the oversized side and 窕 the too-small opposite.
Archaic and specialist: it names one side of a classical bell-proportion contrast.
Alone, it needs a gloss.
