糜 is a bound form (b.f.) that appears in compound words. It has two pronunciations: mí (more common) and méi (the one listed here). With the méi reading, it historically referred to millet or a surname, but the dictionary glosses given here (gruel, porridge, spoiled, ruined) actually match the mí reading. In modern Chinese, 糜 (mí) appears in words like 糜烂 (rotten, corrupt) and 糜费 (wasteful). Be aware of the pronunciation mismatch — this row may need correction.
