What ꂽ means

It writes the syllable mot in Nuosu Yi.

In standardized Liangshan Yi, a regional variety, final t in Latin mot marks a high pitch; context supplies the word's meaning.

Yi writing's earliest surviving monumental example is a bronze bell from 1485; paper manuscripts date to around 1500. Bimo, Yi ritual specialists, copied regional forms for religious, magical, medical, and genealogical texts; shapes, sounds, and word values varied by region. The Liangshan standard grew from Cuan and Wei writing traditions. Devised in 1974 and issued in 1980, it covers Liangshan Yi, not every Yi variety.
