Pronunciation

Peng'im: hiah8
POJ: hia̍h
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

noun: forehead, amount; quota
額

The hiah8 reading is shared by two senses of 額ドイ('forehead' and 'amount/quota'), both attested in Teochew compounds (額頭 for forehead, 額外 for extra amount), so it is unclear which is primary for the bare character.
