Definitions

歁

1. not satiated
2. (Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Taiwanese Hokkien) stupid; foolish; reckless; absurd (as if a madman)
3. (Quanzhou Hokkien) cocky; aloof

Usage notes

• Douglas (1873) mentions that the "foolish" sense in this term is more "active" than 戇／戆 (gōng, “foolish; slow-witted”) which has a more "dull" kind of stupidity.
