Pronunciation

Peng'im: zian1
POJ: tsiaⁿ
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

adjective: alternative form of 精: lean (of meat)
精

1 candidate reading from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Only zian1 is attested for this 'alternative form of 精 (lean meat)' sense block; zêng1 is attested only for a separate 'nitrile' chemistry sense, so the two original candidates are split into two entries by sense (see the other 腈 entry).
