Meaning or Remarks

Sometimes occurs where it cannot mean ‘south'. The Man147 meaning 'great' might fit.

Occurs in one locality name on Lantao. May be T'ails (=water).

Means a python, but the characters for ‘lizard' are often substituted, and as the Man147 glossary gives she=ox, the real meaning of this combination may be 'big ox'.

See ye (123), also nai (49).

Often misspelt ni.

This word occurs in several places with the alternatives lau (30), ngo (55), yan (122) or yiu (128), but the word for "ox' cannot have either alternative pronunciation. For a possible explanation see pages 156-157.

See also niu (58) and (5). Occurs twice: once in the old name for Victoria Harbour, still preserved among the Hoklo138 fishermen; and once as an alternative to ngau (54). See pages 156-157.

Appears to mean 'high' but in a few instances may be 'high and dry',
