Does Min Nan have a noun-verb difference? Is this correct?

|mn=xm,zz:ōa/xm,sx,tp,km,mg:ūi/qz,yl,tn,kh,tc:ōe/lk:ǒe/xm,zz:hōa/qz:hōe
|mn_note=ōa, ūi, ōe, ǒe - vernacular; hōa, hōe - literary

@Wyang There doesn't seem to be a difference, but ūi is more common for Xiamen when it's standalone. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 13:25, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Also, fa and va̍k in Taiwanese Hakka are mixed already, so they can use both for both noun and verb. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 13:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung Thanks! 當代泉州音字彙 also lists uê8, which is not found in 閩方典 (?). Should this be added too? Wyang (talk) 21:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I don't know. @Mar vin kaiser, what are your thoughts? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for pointing this out. Actually, one of the problems I've had with 闽南方言大词典 is that even though I pronounce 畫 as ueh8, 闽南方言大词典 lists the Quanzhou pronunciation of 畫 as ue6, which I've never heard before. Well, based on 當代泉州音字彙, it seems to be a legit pronunciation, but I can definitely confirm that ueh8 is also a legit pronunciation, since that's the pronunciation I know and use, as a single character and in words as well. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:44, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser Thanks for your input! So is ueh8 used as both a noun and a verb? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 02:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
