Meanings and usage

noun: kerosene, paraffin
塗油

The reading tou5 iu5 could correspond to either the Southern-Min-specific noun sense 'kerosene' or the general verb senses 'to grease/anoint'; the literal 'earth-oil' meaning suggests kerosene, but the page does not disambiguate pronunciation by sense.
