Definition
蚊 is a bound form (b.f.) that means 'mosquito'. It cannot be used alone as a word; it must combine with another morpheme to form a compound, such as 蚊子 (wénzi, mosquito), 蚊香 (wénxiāng, mosquito coil), or 蚊帐 (wénzhàng, mosquito net). When you learn this character, remember it only appears as part of longer words.
