Meanings and usage

noun: marquis; lord, (surname) Hou
侯

2 of 3 candidate readings from Wiktionary confirmed — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Dropped hao7, which in the dossier only marks a bound use of 侯 inside the fixed place name 閩侯 (Mǐnhòu) with no independent gloss, not a general sense of this headword.
