It is the Tangut verb for rubbing.

The Western Xia state created Tangut writing in 1036 for government, Buddhist scripture, and Tangut identity. An official record dated 1072 is among its earliest texts.
Where was Tangut writing used?
For government, Buddhist texts, and literature.
Texts included Confucius’s teachings, military manuals, encyclopedias, and literature. The script drew on Chinese writing principles and the neighboring Khitan people’s script.
An inscription dated 1502 shows later use.
Specialist historical writing; casual use needs Tangut context.
