遏

verb: to stop, to suppress, to curb; to check
遏

The character block bundles a general literary sense ('to stop/suppress/curb') with several senses explicitly tagged Hokkien only (e.g. 'to drain/strain', 'to snap off'), and a single Teochew reading covers the whole block, so which sense(s) actually apply in Teochew is not fully disambiguated; the general sense was picked as the safer/broader fit.
