@Mar vin kaiser, can you qualify/source the use for syphilis? Thank you. Hongthay (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

It's in 闽南方言大词典. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:37, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
At least "on paper" appears to be 生檨仔 for Taiwan, per Entry #2028”, in 臺灣閩南語常用詞辭典 [Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan] (overall work in Mandarin and Hokkien), Ministry of Education, R.O.C., 2023.. Would you be able to source a more bounded region for that usage? Thanks. Hongthay (talk) 15:48, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think it's a matter how you analyse 生檨仔. 闽方大 puts 檨仔 as meaning syphilis (noun) and lists 生檨仔 as an example (verb + object), while MOE analyses 生檨仔 as meaning the first stage of syphilis (noun). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 08:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
