4 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Glossed using the Teochew-specific senses (to lead/bring; to look after; to give birth to), the only senses that all four candidate readings attest together; a separate standard-Chinese sense ('to invite') shares only the iao1/hiao1 readings.
