Meanings and usage

verb: to pound (grain) in a mortar, to punch; to hit with a fist
舂

The 'to pound grain' sense is untagged/general, but the 'punch/hit' sense is tagged Cantonese/Hakka/Min-Southern rather than confirmed specifically for Teochew, so it is unclear whether that sense actually applies here.
