Meanings and usage

verb: to push, to press
按

The character 按 carries many senses across topolects (push/press, restrain, according-to, and several Hokkien-specific senses like estimate/pawn); the Teochew reading ang3 is inferred to match the general 'push/press' sense from its position in the pronunciation table and the synonyms table, but the page does not explicitly state which sense(s) use this specific reading.
