𠠝 lêh8

In a recent post, I used lêh8 and you have heard Iab Hui 業飛 using this word to mean to cut. 

I have heard lêh8 being used by a mother saying to her husband and son:

bê6gian2 zo6loh8 ho2ho2 puêh8  父囝坐落好好詖

mai3 tang3rig8 duah4 tai5 duah4 lêh8  勿暢日叱刣叱𠠝

Father and son sit down and chat to discuss, don’t shout and kill each other to solve issues all day long.

父子坐下好好談別整天喊打喊殺的|

父子坐下好好谈别整天喊打喊杀的

I cannot find the simplified character of lêh8 and it is represented in Teochew dictionaries as  

bê6gian父囝 father and son

zo6loh8 坐落 sit down

ho2ho2 好好 nicely

puêh8  discuss

mai3  don't

tang3rig8 暢日 whole day

duah4 tai5 duah4 lêh8 叱刣叱𠠝 shout and kill each other to solve problems
