Meanings and usage

noun: tall mountain; peak, parent-in-law (in compounds)
岳

The page gives this literary reading for both a 'mountain peak' sense and a 'parent-in-law' kinship sense (plus a surname use) without indicating which is primary for Teochew, so the best single gloss/category is uncertain.
