Meanings and usage

verb: to carry on the shoulder forcefully, to ram, to strike forcefully
夯

The Teochew reading hang1 covers a whole pronunciation block with several senses on the page (physical carrying/ramming/striking as well as a Taiwan-origin slang sense 'awesome/popular'); the core physical-action sense was chosen but the mapping to Teochew usage specifically is uncertain.
