cinder = ash ?

in what I am reading it's clearly "dust"
K has "slacks"
-----------------------------
Editor: A, NC and DE, for example, all have "coal dust" as their first gloss.
NC also has "small coal" which is another word for "slack", which Oxford defines as "Coal dust or small pieces of coal", which sounds right for 煤屑. Anyway, I didn't find a sense of "cinder" that seemed appropriate here.
Diff:
- 煤屑 煤屑 [mei2 xie4] /cinder/
# + 煤屑 煤屑 [mei2 xie4] /coal dust/
+ 煤屑 煤屑 [mei2 xie4] /coal dust/coal slack/
