Meanings and usage

verb: to cover, to wrap, cover; hood
罩, 蓋

The character carries many divergent senses tagged Mandarin/Cantonese/Taiwan-slang/Hokkien all sharing the same reading; picked the general 'to cover/wrap' sense over dialect-specific ones (e.g. Hokkien 'to encage/ensnare') that could be closer to actual Teochew usage.
