Meanings and usage

noun: palm (tree), palm fiber
棕

The character has multiple senses (palm tree/palm fiber vs. brown color) sharing the same reading; a related-dialect vernacular/literary split suggests the palm sense is primary here, but the page does not explicitly confirm this for the Teochew reading.
