I saw this character 鎮 and I thought of ding3 which means a town. If your ancestry were from Gig’ion 揭陽 then perhaps your parents would have taught you to say dêng3.
Ding3 can also mean to reserve in advance as in ding3ui7 鎮位｜镇位.
Another use of ding3 is as
follow:
|
gai2
ui7 kioh8 ziah4 in2 ke3 ding3 |
|
個位挈隻椅去鎮。｜个位挈只椅去镇。 |
|
Use
a chair to reserve that place. |
This character is also used for a Teochew word ding3do3 鎮地
which means to obstruct or block.
|
Nang5
dua7 ziah4 huan1 ding3 bang3 mung5 go3 |
|
人大隻還鎮放門塊。｜ 人大只还镇放门块。 |
|
The
person has a large body (and) still obstructing the door by standing by it. |
