Meanings and usage

verb: to aid, to help, to assist
援

Standalone 援 lists several senses (to pull/tow, to hold, to quote, to recommend) marked obsolete in standard Chinese besides 'to aid'; picked 'to aid/help' as the most plausible living sense but the exact sense intended by the confirmed Teochew reading is not explicitly disambiguated on the page.
