POJ: sai-tsioh-je̍k
Variety: chaozhou
Pronunciation note: Wikipedia lists /ioʔ/ → /ieʔ/ directly among the rimes fronted in Chaozhou/Chenghai — direct evidence, not an extension by analogy from the open rime.
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/.

Page attests both a verb sense (of a room, to have western sun exposure) and a noun sense (setting sun/sunset) under the identical reading; chose the noun sense as primary.
