What does 𗤪 mean?

Its documented readings belong to Tangut compounds.

In 𗘎𗤪, 𗘎 is an alternative Tangut form of “seven”; the pair is glossed “seven sounds,” described as seven thunderclaps or bursts of music. Another Buddhist compound, 𗍥𘟙𗤪, is glossed “vajra pestle.” Treat both as context-bound readings, not as one standalone English gloss for 𗤪.

The Tangut script was created in 1036 under Western Xia rule for government, Buddhist translations, and a distinct state identity. It drew visual inspiration from Chinese characters and followed earlier Khitan state-script projects, yet remained a separate writing system. Tangut texts also included Chinese and Tibetan works. A manuscript found at Khara-Khoto’s ruins probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Tangut writing continued under Yuan and Ming rule before falling out of use.
