cjk unified ideograph-97b4

CJK Unified Ideograph-97B4

鞴 is a rare historical word for horse gear and a bellows. In Japanese, ふいご gives the bellows sense; in Chinese, translate the whole compound. Never guess from the single character alone.

What 鞴 means

It is a historical gear word, not one fixed object. The earliest source located in this research is the Eastern Han Shuowen Jiezi lineage for a chariot covering, with later dictionaries keeping 鞴 for fitting a horse and 鞴靫 for an arrow case.

That bellows forced air into furnaces for smelting and forging. Japanese keeps that sense in ふいご. The character lives in compounds, so translate the surrounding word, not 鞴 alone.

Specialist and historical: equipment vocabulary, not casual chat.

Do not read it as only bellows; it also covers horse equipment and arrow cases.
