keng3 |
有錢囥|有钱囥 |
have money to
put away |
keng3 ho2 |
囥好 |

something away |
NOTE:
When we say ho2 at the end of a verb, it means the work has
been done; been accomplished.
Keng3 means to hide something or to conceal it or to put
something away for safe keeping. Do not be confused with bhih4 沕 A 覕 or diam3 坫 to mean to hide oneself; to
hide as in to conceal oneself to avoid contact with others. One uses the word keng3 for objects and if you
are hiding from someone, then you use the word bhih4 or diam3.
Mi1 means to be out of sight, not be able to be seen.
