Meanings and usage

adjective: staring in anger, vengeful
睚眥

Two separate pos-blocks (adjective 'staring in anger/vengeful' vs. noun 'small grievance' or mythological creature) share the same Teochew reading; the adjective sense was chosen as primary but this is a rare literary term whose colloquial Teochew usage is uncertain.
