Talk:慫

Sense 3

@Wyang, Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c, Tooironic Should we acknowledge the newly added sense 3? I thinked up several solutions:

• (chiefly Internet) Alternative form of 㞞／𪨊
• Misspelling of 㞞／𪨊
• not list this sense at all

I like #1. (PS. thinked up -> thought of) Wyang (talk) 12:37, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Alright... Dokurrat (talk) 12:38, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

It seems like 慫 is already in the "alternative forms" section for 㞞. Is is really new and restricted to the internet? (I didn't know what it means, so I think we should include it...) —suzukaze (t・c) 12:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

@Suzukaze-c: I used "chiefly Internet" because I think this sense of this character is included in no dictionaries as for now... Dokurrat (talk) 13:01, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

I think this case is not unlike using 逼 for 屄. Dokurrat (talk) 13:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC) Well, there's one difference: 逼 and 屄 are homophonic in Mandarin, yet 慫 and 㞞 are not homophonic in their established, well-acknowledged senses. Dokurrat (talk) 13:11, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

@Dokurrat, Wyang, Suzukaze-c: I don't think this sense is read as song3, but song2, just like 㞞. See Talk:㞞. I'd go with #1 as well. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 21:11, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

I agree. 慫, when used in this "useless; lack of ability or courage" sense, is an alternative form of 㞞. Dokurrat (talk) 02:43, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
