What 蠫 means
蠫 is a variant of 劙, meaning “to cut or slit.” The two forms are connected as spellings of the same classical Chinese word.
In the Warring States period, the Chinese book Xunzi describes a sharpened blade cutting bronze vessels and cattle with 劙. It is an early example of the word, but the passage spells it 劙 rather than the exact form 蠫.
A classical, dictionary-listed Chinese word for cutting.
