Meaning of 坡[edit]
@Wyang, do you think 坡 could mean 'town' or something like that? Compare 新加坡, 吉隆坡, 坡底 (downtown, particularly George Town, Penang; also written as 埠底). — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 15:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- It seems like I got it right... search for pho1 at the Penang Hokkien Dictionary under Penang Hokkien. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 21:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, that was my suspicion too, although I could not find sources to back it up. The Penang Hokkien Dictionary site is a great one; thanks! Wyang (talk) 23:26, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
