trad. 嫩

alternative forms 嫰
媆

Glyph origin[edit]

Corrupted form of 㜛.

Etymology 1[edit]

Unclear. Possibly as variant of 耎 (OC) ~ 輭 (OC *nonʔ); alternatively, related to Burmese နုန့် (nun., “weak, exhausted from illness”), yet this meaning barely overlaps with "soft to touch" (Schuessler, 2007).
