LA
---------------------------------

Editor:
1. Thanks for pointing out that 秖 is first tone, not third.


2. I don't know what rule LA uses to determine simplified forms, but CC-CEDICT uses the PRC simplification standards, as published in documents such as 通用规范汉字表, which states
0246
规范字: 只
繁体字: (衹)
异体字: [祇 秖]
https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hans/%E9%80%9A%E7%94%A8%E8%A7%84%E8%8C%83%E6%B1%89%E5%AD%97%E8%A1%A8

That implies 秖 is to be simplified as 只, unless there is a note somewhere that the lines quoted above only apply to the "merely" sense and not to the "grain" sense. I don't see any such note, though.


3. Some dictionaries (e.g. Grand Ricci and Key) say 秖[zhi1] is a *synonym* of 只[zhi3] ("only; merely; just").
But
a) Being a synonym is not enough to call it a variant. It has to have the same pronunciation as well.
(At least, that's how CC-CEDICT uses the term "variant".)
In this case, 秖 is [zhi1] whereas the relevant sense of 只 is [zhi3].

b) Other dictionaries (LA, M, ...) do not include that sense ("only; merely; just"), and I have no examples of that sort of usage. So I'm going to leave it out.
Diff:
- 秖 只 [zhi3] /grain that has begun to ripen/variant of 衹|只[zhi3]/
# + 秖 秖 [zhi1] /grain that has begun to ripen/
# + 秖 只 [zhi3] /variant of 只[zhi3]/
#
+ 秖 只 [zhi1] /grain that has begun to ripen/
