Meanings and usage

noun: brother-in-law (husband's younger brother)
細叔

Page splits senses by dialect: 'paternal uncle' is tagged Cantonese/Hakka only, while 'brother-in-law (husband's younger brother)' is tagged Eastern Min/Hakka/Pinghua/Southern Min (Southern Min covers Teochew), so the latter was chosen, but colloquially 細叔 commonly also means father's youngest brother in Teochew.
