Meanings and usage

adjective: fine; not coarse, tender; soft, young
幼, 幼嫩

Wiktionary lists both a literary Mandarin 'young/infant' sense and Southern-Min-specific 'fine/tender' senses for 幼; the Teochew reading iun3 most likely corresponds to the dialectal fine/tender sense but the page does not cleanly map each sense to a distinct reading.
