Collapse the table and you should see:

• sāi - vernacular (“to stuff; to be jammed; stopper”);
• sēi - low vernacular (“to stuff”);
• sè - literary.

Glyph origin

The stated glyph origin is likely wrong. Character is phono-semantic from 土 + the ancient form of 賽. See https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/28779/what-is-the-relation-between-%e5%af%a8-zh%c3%a0i-stockade-stronghold-fort-and-%e5%a1%9e-s%c3%a0i Zekelayla (talk) 06:41, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
