What 鬷 means
It can name a kind of ancient cooking vessel. The 《說文解字》, a classical Chinese character dictionary, defines 鬷 as a kind of cauldron and analyzes it as 鬲, the vessel component, plus 㚇, the sound-giving part.
The Shijing (Book of Odes, 《詩經》), a collection of classical Chinese poems, preserves 鬷 in the phrases 鬷邁 and 鬷假. The poems are generally dated 1000–600 BCE; manuscript witnesses survive from at least the fourth century BCE. Later lexicons record 鬷蔑 as a surname and give extended classical senses tied to gathering or totality.
