𗓎 [¹lwuq₁] 'to mix, to blend' is constructed from the top of 𗔏 [²lwuq₁] 'to stir, to mix with water' (?) and the whole of 𗋅 [¹lwu₁] 'to mix together' {𗔏𗥦𗋅𘓳} babelstone.co.uk/Tangut/WenhaiL…

Three characters with closely related meanings and very similar readings, which would seem to be reflexes of the same root. We may also note the possible cognates 𗋝 [²lwu₁] 'to wash' and 𗕩 [¹lwuq₃] 'harmonious'. Are there cognates in other languages?

The character 𗓎 [¹lwuq₁] does occur a few times in literary texts: Forest of Categories mentions mixing powdered medicine in water (𘆩𗿧𗋽𗑠𗓎); and Pearl in the Palm has an entry for 𗋋𗓎 = 和埿 'to mix mud' (i.e. clay for making tiles or pottery).
