Definitions

䭫

  1. Alternative form of 稽 (qǐ, “to rest; to stay”), used in 稽首 (qǐshǒu).

Usage notes

The character form 䭫 (qǐ) is used much less frequently than 稽 in the classical literature. However, its composition is closer to the one attested in the bronze script. An even closer transcription would be 𩒨 (⿰旨頁).
