Meanings and usage

noun: honorific title for a deity, prince (archaic term of address)
王爺

Multiple senses share this reading (an honorific title for a deity, an archaic term for a prince, and an adjectival sense 'tyrannical/domineering') with inconsistent dialect tagging across sources, so it is unclear which sense is primary in Teochew usage.
