Meanings and usage

verb: to discard, to abandon, to throw away
撇

The character has many dialect-tagged senses sharing the pronunciation block that includes the Teochew vernacular reading (mn-t=puah4), but no sense on the page is tagged specifically Teochew, so the general Chinese sense (to discard/abandon/throw away) was used rather than a confirmed Teochew-specific one.
