Meanings and usage

verb: to bathe, to cleanse
沐

The character has several senses across Southern Min varieties (general 'bathe/cleanse' vs. Quanzhou/Xiamen-specific senses like 'invest money' or 'sink into'); only the general bathe/cleanse sense clearly corresponds to the Teochew mog8 reading, mainly seen in compounds like 沐浴.
