Meanings and usage

noun: strength, energy, vigor
勁, 力氣

The character has two Mandarin readings (jìng, adjective 'strong/powerful' vs. jìn, noun 'energy/vigor'); the Teochew reading gên3 appears to align with the noun sense but the page does not explicitly confirm which sense corresponds to this reading.
