sleeves - rolling up sleeves discussing zah4 扱 and ung2 䘼 [Swatow ng2]

Gang Hiog 江煜 discusses rolling up and sleeves

zah4

to roll up

This character zah4 is listed in LLL’s dictionary and not in ZXS’s. CZYZD is spells it correctly as zah4 and Mogher has spelled it incorrectly as zab4 and Gang Hiog said zah4 on the video and spelled it as zab4 on the video screen. I say zah4. How do you say to roll up in Teochew Uê?
