崴

This entry is flagged for review.

Pronunciation

Peng'im: ui1
POJ: ui
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

noun: bend or curve (of a mountain or river, esp. in place names)
崴

The page gives two Mandarin readings (wēi, adjective with an incomplete/rfdef gloss; wǎi/wēi, noun 'curve in a mountain or river' and verb 'to sprain'), and the Teochew peng'im ui1 doesn't clearly map to one; the 'to sprain' sense is separately covered by 崴著 (uai2 dioh4), so the landform noun sense was picked here.

Usage: no-gloss
