肖

• Resemblance: To look like or be similar to, often implying an inherent or familial likeness.
• Diminution: To waste away, wither, vanish, or diminish.

• Relational Verb/Predicate: Typically follows the pattern [Subject] + 肖 + [Object/Standard].
• Modifier: May function as an adjective describing a likeness or a state of diminution.

In the sense of "diminution," this glyph is frequently interchangeable with 蕭.

Be alert to the pivot between these two meanings. If "resembles" creates a semantic dead-end in a passage describing loss, decay, or reduction, test the interpretation of the glyph as "diminishing/withering."
