Definitions[edit]

  1. thin
  2. (obsolete) unarmored
  3. (obsolete) armoured with thin, scale-like metal plates

Usage notes[edit]

Berthold Laufer (1913) objects to interpretations of 𠈙 (jiàn) (and (jiè) elsewhere) as being armored with metal plates; instead, he proposes that the horses were covered in plain hide armor or hide scale armor, as worn by Zhou soldiers.[1]
