翹

4 candidate readings from Wiktionary were tied to two distinct senses in the dossier, so this word was split into two sense-specific entries. This entry keeps the 2 readings (kiao5, kiou5) attached to the literary 'lift/raise' and colloquial 'stick up/curl up' senses — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. See the separate 翹 entry for kiao3/kiou3, tied instead to the 'play truant' sense.
