尺

This entry is flagged for review.

Pronunciation

Peng'im: cioh4
POJ: tshioh
Variety: chaozhou

Pronunciation note: Wikipedia lists /ioʔ/ → /ieʔ/ directly among the rimes fronted in Chaozhou/Chenghai — direct evidence, not an extension by analogy from the open rime.

Peng'im: ciêh4
POJ: tshieh
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

noun: chi (traditional unit of length, roughly 1/3 meter), ruler; tape measure
尺

2 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Split into two entries because cê7 is tied only to the gongche musical-notation sense of 尺 in the dossier, while cioh4/ciêh4 cover the main 'chi/ruler' sense.
