Pronunciation

Peng'im: kioh4

Pronunciation note: Wikipedia lists /ioʔ/ → /ieʔ/ directly among the rimes fronted in Chaozhou/Chenghai — direct evidence, not an extension by analogy from the open rime.

Meanings and usage

verb: to pick up, to gather
抾

Wiktionary labels several senses (pick up/gather, tidy up, levy/collect, give birth, assemble) as Hokkien-only but does not state explicitly which one(s) correspond to the Teochew kioh4 reading; 'to pick up/gather' was chosen as the most likely primary colloquial sense.
