Meanings and usage

verb: to quit (a habit), to give up, to guard against
戒

The character carries several senses under the same reading (verb 'to quit/warn against' vs. noun 'Buddhist precept' or 'short for ring'), and the page does not indicate which is most relevant in Teochew, so the common verb sense was chosen.
