Meanings and usage

noun: kudzu (Pueraria lobata), hemp cloth, surname Ge
葛

The character page bundles several senses (kudzu plant, hemp cloth, historical state name, surname, plus a Wu-dialect-only particle use) under the same Teochew reading; the plant/cloth/surname sense was chosen as most plausibly applicable to Teochew.
