Meanings and usage

noun: pit, hole, ridge between fields
坎

The character has several senses under the same Teochew reading (pit/hole, ridge between fields, critical juncture, trigram name, surname); a separate Cantonese-only mahjong sense under a different etymology was excluded, and it is unclear which general sense is most idiomatic in everyday Teochew.
