Usage notes

Wu (2022) proposes the reading [siu]~[su] for the undotted form 𘬈 (004), based on the variant spelling 𘮧𘭨𘬈 ⟨p.y.WHITE⟩ of the female nobility title 𘮧𘭨𘱁𘮡 ⟨p.y.z.iú⟩ (Chinese 別胥 biéxū). This was further used to identify the sequence 𘬜𘮱𘰹𘰕𘬉 ⟨ei.304.qu.ń.WHITE°⟩, with the dotted form, in line 13 of the Epitaph for Madam Han 韓氏 (1078) as the name 云独昆苏 Yúndúkūnsū. This also led to a reading of 𘮱 (304) as [du].[1]
