Meanings and usage

noun: shell; carapace, armor, first; A (rank)
甲

The character page lists many senses under the same Teochew reading (shell/armor, first-rank ordinal, a Taiwanese land-area unit, and a Southern-Min degree particle meaning 'to the extent that'); the noun sense was chosen as primary but the grammatical particle usage is also common in spoken Teochew.
