Definition
骸 (hái) is a bound form (黏着语素) that cannot stand alone as an independent word. It appears in compound nouns related to bones, skeletons, or remains, such as 骸骨 (skeleton), 残骸 (wreckage), and 遗骸 (remains). You'll encounter it in formal, literary, or technical contexts — not in everyday casual speech.
b.f.
(bound form) bones of the bodyskeleton
