      Results: 1. the distinction between 飢 and 餓 is not one between a literary and a colloquial word.

      2. There is a clear difference in degree between the two words.

      3. Beginning from Han times the distinction between the two words is gradually neutralised, but a nuance of difference in degree remains.

      This is a very detailed article which deserves careful close consideration.
