Meanings and usage

noun: illness, disease (literary), swift, hasty (literary)
疾

Bound literary morpheme with two divergent senses (illness vs. swift/hasty) sharing the same Teochew reading; noun chosen as primary sense though the 'swift' sense is more adjectival, and category is approximate since no disease-term category exists.
