Meanings and usage

verb: to bow with hands clasped, to salute
揖

The Chinese entry lists two Mandarin pronunciations (yī "to salute/decline" and jí "to gather") and it is not fully certain which sense the single given Teochew reading corresponds to; the more common "salute with clasped hands" sense was chosen.
