Meanings and usage

suffix: suffix for objects below/behind (e.g. tail), suffix for clumped/sticky objects (e.g. mud)
巴

巴 has many unrelated senses (bound suffix, slap classifier, transliteration character, short for bus) and no sense on the page is explicitly tied to the plain Teochew reading ba1, so the productive suffix sense was chosen as most likely but remains uncertain.
