It names white wine and can also mean salt.
In classical Chinese, 醝 names white wine; dictionary records also connect it with 鹺 (salt) and list 山醝 as the name of a millet. The earliest known dictionary record for 醝 is in 玉篇, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543. The Taiwan Ministry of Education dictionary entry notes that the earlier 說文 does not record 醝.
