Meanings and usage

adjective: complete; thorough, circumference; all around, circuit (classifier)
周

Character carries many senses (circle/circumference, thorough, classifier for revolutions, hertz, historical dynasty name, surname) and the page does not indicate which corresponds to the general Teochew reading, so the core 'thorough/complete' sense was chosen somewhat arbitrarily.
