variant of 讆[wèi]
Etymology
About
The character 譓 combines the speech radical 言 with the phonetic component 衛, indicating its pronunciation. It describes erratic speech, such as talking in one's sleep or uttering delirious, incoherent words. The radical ties it to vocalization and language, while the phonetic element specifies the sound. This term is used in medical or literary contexts for abnormal speech due to severe illness, fever, or unconsciousness, emphasizing a loss of verbal control rather than deliberate communication.
