Meanings and usage

noun: Qiang (ethnic group), muntjac (small deer)
羌族, 羌

The character shares one reading across several unrelated senses (Qiang ethnic group, muntjac deer, an obsolete Chuci particle, and a surname); the ethnic-group/deer senses were chosen as most salient but the best single gloss is uncertain.
