2 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Split from a single Wiktionary listing of 5 candidate readings because lang2/long2 attach to the verb senses (to cover, to envelop, to shroud) while lang5/long5/lêng5 attach to the distinct noun senses (basket, cage, steamer); each sense-specific entry lists only its own readings.
