Is 𘪔 a Tangut word?
No; it is a component used to analyze Tangut characters. “Component-661” is an inventory label, not a gloss, pronunciation, or standalone word. Tangut components are structural elements used to index, describe, and analyze larger Tangut characters.
Tangut writing was created around 1036 under the Western Xia state as a native script and for a major effort to produce a Buddhist canon. Surviving manuscripts also contain translated Chinese classics, legal and military works, and literature. Its design drew on Chinese writing and followed Khitan precedents for creating a native script.
The script continued after Western Xia into the Yuan and Ming periods, and was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Tangut writing carried a language; this particular entry serves as a structural label in modern dictionaries, glossaries, and character descriptions.
Technical and archival; it fits discussions of Tangut script, component inventories, dictionaries, or font support.
Do not read “661” as a translation or pronunciation.
