Meanings and usage

noun: profession, business, karma (Buddhism)
業

Character carries many distinct senses (profession, achievements, property, karma, literary 'already', suffix/measure-word uses) under the single reading; the general 'profession/business' sense was chosen as most representative but is not certain to be primary in Teochew.
