<p>I've got this entry from 《广安方言与民俗词典》which goes as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>□</p>
<p>fei3</p>
<p>指呕吐。例：他中午吃醉酒了，fei3了一地。</p>
</blockquote>
<p>□ is as <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%96%A1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wiktionary</a> states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Used as a placeholder for an unknown hanzi.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There's a good chance though that this character <em>word</em> does have an actual representational character.</p>
<p>I've not been able to find any MSM <em>fei</em> readings that mean to throw up/to barf, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Notes</strong>: <em>fei3</em> is equivalent to [fei⁵³] - so almost the same as fei4 in MSM.</p>
<p>Any ideas on what it can be?</p>
<hr />
<p>My leaning at the moment is that <em>fei3</em> is actually a contraction (合音) of something like <em>发呕</em> or <em>发哕</em> - not that I have any proof for it but it seems to be the most likely at the moment.</p>

Does《广安方言与民俗词典》have a radical lookup or something similar, such that you can back-reference the page number for which this entry appears?

@droooze They claim there is no character for this word. But, I'm thinking that there might be a fitting one that they haven't included.

Did you see this in an electronic version or paper book?

@fefe The paper edition is the same as the electronic version, I've checked both. There might not be an actual character at all, it is a topolect that we're talking about after all. Their editors obviously believe that there is no character, I'm proposing that there might in fact be a suitable character though, because often times there *is*.

What character can "□" [fei3] meaning 呕吐 be?
# What character can "□" [fei3] meaning 呕吐 be?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-02-26)

I've got this entry from 《广安方言与民俗词典》which goes as follows:

> □
>
> fei3
>
> 指呕吐。例：他中午吃醉酒了，fei3了一地。

□ is as [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%96%A1) states:

> Used as a placeholder for an unknown hanzi.

There's a good chance though that this character *word* does have an actual representational character.

I've not been able to find any MSM *fei* readings that mean to throw up/to barf, etc.

**Notes**: *fei3* is equivalent to [fei⁵³] - so almost the same as fei4 in MSM.

Any ideas on what it can be?

My leaning at the moment is that *fei3* is actually a contraction (合音) of something like *发呕* or *发哕* - not that I have any proof for it but it seems to be the most likely at the moment.
