Definition
硷 is a variant character of 碱 (jiǎn), meaning 'alkali' or 'base' in chemistry. It is rarely used in modern Chinese; the standard form is 碱. The POS in the source data is listed as 'v' (verb), but the actual usage is as a noun (alkali) or adjective (alkaline). This mismatch needs correction.
