Meanings and usage

adverb: tentatively, for the time being, might as well
罔

Many senses (literary negation, an Eastern Min 'the more...the more' sense, and a Hokkien-region 'tentatively' sense) share the same reading without clear per-sense Teochew disambiguation; chose the Hokkien-adjacent 'tentatively/for the time being' sense as most plausible for colloquial Teochew.
