guin5 vs nguin5 危

This is a very interesting character 危. 

There are two examples given by 林伦伦. On page 84 of 新编潮州音字典, LLL gives his first example as nguiⁿ5 hiam2 危險 which is explained as dangerous or not safe with these Chinese explanations wei1xian3 危險 , 不安全

The second example LLL gives as guiⁿ5 危 to mean tall or high and in Chinese is gao1 高.  The two examples are:

1. tall mountain suaⁿ1 guiⁿ5 山危 

   

   高山水長

2. tall building lao5 guiⁿ5 樓危

   

   lao5 guiⁿ5 樓危

Lang6 hiam2 - so what does hiam2 險 actually mean. It means dangerous.  

Then what does lang6 actually mean - very and in LLL page 111, it describes lang6 as

1. sorrowful  悷
2. extremely 極, 非常

Hence, lang6 hiam2 means extremely dangerous.

bo2 hiam2 保險

So perhaps one need to have a bo2 hiam2 保險.  And what does bo2 hiam2 mean? It means insurance.

We know this bo2 from bo2 ho7 保賀. which means to bless and protect or blessings.

保賀 bo2 ho7

And finally to lang6 hiam2.  I cannot find the character for lang6 in LLL on page 111.  It has a sim character as a radical and the right hand is a lêng character and this could be represented as [忄|龙].  

If you have the electronic version of this lang6 [and HanYu PinYin is long3], please email me the character or place it in comments.

Zoi Sia - many thanks
