๐ถ [ยฒjwoโ] 'to throw away, to discard' is constructed from the left side of ๐ [ยฒvaqโ] 'to send, to release, to emit' and the whole of ๐ [ยนzhyrโ] 'heavy, solid, true' {๐๐ฑ๐๐ณ} babelstone.co.uk/Tangut/WenhaiLโฆ

Li Fanwen's Tangut-Chinese dictionary gives the definition of ๐ถ as "to throw; to fling" "ๆฒใๆใๆฃ"; and Kychanov's dictionary gives the definition "ะฑัะพัะฐัั", "throw; fling", "ๆฒ". From its usage in literary text, it seems that "to throw away, to discard" may be more accurate.

In literary text the character ๐ถ frequently (always?) occurs as part of the word ๐ซ๐ถ (babelstone.co.uk/Tangut/Tongyinโฆ) which, for example, occurs 7 times in "Collected Writings of the Shining Speech of Three Generations" ใ๐๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ใ .

This example comes from the New Collection on Parental Love and Filial Piety ใ๐ง๐ฐ๐ฟ๐๐ใ = ใๆฐ้ๆ ๅญๅณใ, translated in Guillaume Jacques's "Le nouveau recueil sur l'amour parental et la piรฉtรฉ filiale" (2007) pp. 33-34, where Jacques translates the word ๐ซ๐ถ as abandonner.
