Meanings and usage

proper-noun: Siam (historical name for Thailand)
暹羅

Wiktionary lists two senses under the same reading — an obsolete verb sense ('of the sun, to rise') and a historical proper-noun sense (short for Siam) — the page does not distinguish which corresponds specifically to the Teochew reading, so the proper-noun/Siam sense was chosen as more useful.
