What 藖 means
藖 names the leftover stems after grass is cut or chopped.
Older dictionaries also record the senses “hard” and a plant name. Yuan Jie, a poet of China's Tang period, places 藖 beside 麧 in a horse’s manger; 麧 means coarse edible wheat grains sifted from bran.
Literary and dictionary-facing; the grass-stem sense appears in a Tang period poem.
Combination ideas
1A pairing from the Tang period: grain fragments and cut grass stems as horse feed.
