What ꄈ means
A Liangshan lesson glosses it as “quite” or “comparatively.”
Yi writing has regional traditions. Its oldest securely dated examples are inscriptions on the 15th-century Chenghua Bell; claims for older Western Han objects are disputed. Bimo, Yi ritual specialists, used traditional forms in religious and medical texts. The Liangshan standard was devised in 1974 and promulgated in 1980 to improve literacy, adapting older Northern Yi forms; Chinese-style lookup components help users find syllables. Proposed links to writing associated with the Qiangic languages or ancient Chinese oracle-bone inscriptions remain unsettled.
