膏 (gāo) — (verb) to lubricate; (verb) to dip a brush in ink and smooth it on the inkstone (a step in calligraphy or painting)
Definition
As a verb, 膏 means 'to lubricate' (often with 油) or 'to work ink into a brush on the inkstone' before calligraphy or painting. Both senses are rare and formal, and the more common noun 膏 ('paste, ointment') is unrelated.
