Tangut character for lightning

The dictionary gloss is “lightning.” Li Fanwen’s Xia-Han Zidian, a Tangut–Chinese dictionary, lists the word with that meaning.

Tangut writing was created in 1036 for Western Xia, a medieval Tangut state, to serve the state, Buddhist scripture, and Tangut identity. Chinese writing and the neighboring Khitan people’s script influenced its design, but Tangut remained distinct. A Khara-Khoto manuscript fragment likely dates to the 12th or early 13th century; surviving Tangut texts also cover law and literature.
