Meanings and usage

verb: to call (rare), to cry out (rare)
叽

The page's Etymology 1 (the only etymology carrying a Teochew reading — giê3 explicitly tagged Chaozhou, gio3 untagged) gives these two rare verb senses; separate etymologies for "variant of 叫" and "simplified form of 嘰" exist on the same page but are not tied to either Teochew reading.
