Pronunciation

Peng'im: ru5
POJ: jû
Variety: chaozhou

Pronunciation note: Realised [dz] ~ [z] ~ [l] depending on speaker and register; many younger speakers merge it with /l/. The cited sources corroborate [dz], relaxing to [z] for younger/overseas speakers; neither attests the further merger to /l/.

noun: young child
孺

The page lists both adjective ("young and small") and noun ("young child") senses marked obsolete in Standard Chinese, so the best part of speech for modern Teochew usage is uncertain.
