Rfv-sense "Cantonese: stool". Possibly a quirk of the Unihan database: google:䍇 粵語 does not immediately support the existence of this sense. —suzukaze (t・c) 06:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
This website suggests that 䍇 does exist in Cantonese but is only used by people who believe in 本字, and the meaning is not "stool". —suzukaze (t・c) 06:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- Unicode most likely got the definition “stool” from “The Representation of Cantonese with Chinese Characters” by Cheung Kwan-hin and Robert S. Bauer, which cites 《实用广州话分类词典》 and gives the example 屎䍇 (google:"屎䍇" gives 9 results only), defined as “primitive toilet stool”. It seems to be written more often as 屎塔 (google:"屎塔" gives 81 400 results only).
- 䍇 is also found in 《廣州方言詞典》:
[䍇] t‘ap˧˧ ❶大口的罎子：金～盛骸骨的罎子 | 屎～ | 尿～ | 米～ | 瓦～ | 菜脯～盛鹹蘿蔔條的罎子 | 餅～ | 腐乳～ ❷專指屎桶：四眼佬師爺倒～，不成睇桶（體統）歇後語 ‖ 玉篇他盍切：“下平缶也，瓶也“
- 《广州话本字考》 by 白宛如 (the editor of 《廣州方言詞典》) has something similar:
[䍇] t‘ap˧˧ 通常写作“塔”
大口的坛子：瓦～ | 金～盛骨殖的坛子 | 屎～马桶 | 尿～尿罐。
《玉篇》卷十六，～，托合切，“下平缶也，瓶也”。《集韵》盍韵，～，托盍切，“说文：瓨也”（瓨，《集韵》，古双切，“说文，似罂，长颈，受十升”）。- Based on the above, it seems like “stool” is just a bad translation. As @Suzukaze-c has mentioned, it is a 本字 that most people are unaware of, so it is rare and not easily attestable. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 02:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
