Meanings and usage

verb: to run, to leave; to go away
走, 跑

The character page lists a large number of senses under the same reading (to walk/leave, dialectal 'to run', to flee, to leak, to die euphemistically, a surname, and even an alternative form of 行 'to walk' in Hokkien); the colloquial Southern-Min sense 'to run; to leave' was chosen as most representative, but the single primary Teochew sense is uncertain.
