Definition
厥 (jué) is a classical Chinese possessive pronoun equivalent to 其 (its, his, her, their), mainly used in literary or historical texts. In modern Chinese, it also appears in the compound 昏厥 (hūnyuè) meaning 'to faint' or 'to lose consciousness', but that usage is a separate sense not covered by this row's pronoun POS. Learners at HSK 7 may encounter 厥 in classical citations or formal writing.
