蚝

Rfv-sense "hairy and poisonous caterpillar". 蚝 is a simplified form of 蠔, which are hardly ever used in Korean, unless it's also an alternative Chinese form with this sense. Note that 蠔 and 蚝 have different Korean readings as well - 호 (ho) and 자 (ja). @Wyang, TAKASUGI_Shinji, pls check/comment. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:16, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Apart from being the simplified form of 蠔, 蚝 is also a traditional character, pronounced cì, meaning "hairy caterpillars".

cì - ci3 - 蚝/蚝 - "hairy caterpillars" - 자

háo - hou4 - 蠔/蚝 - "oyster" - 호. Wyang (talk) 06:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

@Wyang great job, thank you. I didn't check other dictionaries, sorry. Do you mind checking the Korean entry, please? I should have RFT'ed, not RFV'ed it, no need for citations, I think. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
