What is this character?

I've come across the character 朿 as a building block in other characters a couple of times now, but so far I haven't come across any clues as to what it means. A search on MDBG gives the meaning "stab", pinyin ci4. However i haven't been able to find it through searching the memrise dictionary for both "ci4" and "stab".

Is this character missing from the mandarin database?

    Good spot, that one was missing. Now added. We will need to add it in as a "parent" item for any other characters that it appears in as well.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the speedy response, Ben. I was wondering though, is this perhaps something I could help with? I've come across quite a few characters that are still missing "parents", some with dubious english defnintions, some with incorrect sound files... I've been making a list of these to bring to the attention of you/curators in due course. However, I'd be more than happy to contibute some time into make these additions myself and addressing similar issues arising in the future.

    That would be brilliant! I have given you the permissions so now you can add in the parent items wherever you need.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I'm making the edits now. Sorry to bother you again, but I think I've found another building block word that doesn't seem to be appearing in the dictionary: 卂 - xin4 - to fly rapidly.

    (apologies if adding words is something curators are supposed to be able to do - I couldn't work out how :-) )

    I have added that - thanks! You can add words by adding them to one of your own wordlists. THat will add them to the wiki. Then you have to edit them to add pronunciation. That system is going to be improved very soon.

    Thanks
