PSM *pueʔ⁷
Douglas (1873): TA puih [puiʔ⁷]
QZ ?; ZZ ?; DT ?; JY [pueʔ⁷]; CY ?; LZ [puɛ⁷]; HK [ɓui⁸ᶫ]; WC [ɓueʔ⁷]

In Jieyang (and Tong'an), it means "to scold". Compare Cantonese 屌 "to copulate > to scold".

痱 'heat rash; prickly heat'

PSM *pui⁵
Douglas (1873): XM pùi [pui⁵]
QZ [pui⁵]; ZZ [pui⁵]; DT [pui⁵]; JY [bui⁵]; CY ?; LZ [pui⁵]; HK [ɓui⁵]; WC [ɓui⁵]

The Jieyang form is voiced unexpectedly.

補 'to mend'

PSM *pou³

QZ [pɔ³]; ZZ [pɔ³]; DT [pu³]; JY [pou³]; CY ?; LZ [pɛu³]; HK [ɓɔu³]; WC [ɓou³]

Kwok (2018) mentions the reconstruction of this word on page 86, but it is not found in the appendix nor does it have a full entry within the body of the text.

脯 'dried'

PSM *pou³
Douglas (1873): XM pɵ́ [pɔ³]
QZ [pɔ³]; ZZ [pɔ³]; DT ?; JY [pou³]; CY ?; LZ [pɛu³]; HK [ɓɔu³]; WC [ɓou³]

Douglas (1873): XM pan [pan¹]; QZ paiⁿ [pãi¹]
QZ [pan¹]; ZZ [pan¹]; DT ?; JY [pãi¹]; CY [pãi¹]; LZ [pai¹]; HK ?; WC ?

The modern Quanzhou form is from a literary stratum.

PSM *puĩ¹
Douglas (1873): XM png [pŋ¹]; ZZ puiⁿ [puĩ¹]
QZ [pŋ¹]; ZZ [puĩ¹]; DT ?; JY [pɯŋ¹]; CY ?; LZ [baŋ¹]; HK ?; WC ?

The Leizhou form is probably from a literary stratum (cf. 犯 [baŋ⁴], 法 [bak⁷]).

本 'volume; capital'

PSM *puĩ³ ~ *pun³
Douglas (1873): XM pún [pun³]; QZ pńg [pŋ³]
QZ [pŋ³ ~ pun³]; ZZ [pun³]; DT [pueŋ³]; JY [pɯŋ³]; CY [pɯŋ³]; LZ [pui³]; HK [ɓui³]; WC [ɓui³ ~ ɓun³]

Douglas (1873): XM pháiⁿ [pʰãi³]
QZ [pʰai³]; ZZ [pʰãi³]; DT [pʰɛ³]; JY [pʰai³]; CY ?; LZ [pʰai³]; HK ?; WC ?

This word has been unexpectedly nasalized in some varieties of Hokkien.

捀 'to carry in the hands'

PSM *pʰaŋ²
Douglas (1873): XM phâng [pʰaŋ²]
QZ [pʰaŋ²]; ZZ [pʰaŋ²]; DT ?; JY [kʰaŋ²]; CY ?; LZ [pʰaŋ²]; HK [faŋ²]; WC [pʰaŋ²]

It is unclear whether the Jieyang form is derived from this etymon.

帕 'cloth; kerchief'

PSM *pʰe⁵
Douglas (1873): XM phè [pʰe⁵], ZZ phɛ̀ [pʰɛ⁵]
QZ [pʰe⁵]; ZZ [pʰɛ⁵]; DT ?; JY [pʰe⁵]; CY ?; LZ [pʰɛ⁵]; HK [fɛ⁵]; WC ?

呸 'to spit'

PSM *pʰui⁵
Douglas (1873): XM phùi [pʰui⁵], ZZ phòe [pʰue⁵]
QZ [pʰui⁵]; ZZ [pʰui⁵]; DT ?; JY [pʰui⁵]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK [fui¹]; WC [pʰui⁵]

The tone in Haikou is irregular; perhaps it is a reanalysis of tone 5, which is quite similar to tone 1.

甫 'to copulate; penis (?)'

PSM *pʰuʔ⁷
Douglas (1873): ---
QZ [pʰuʔ⁷]; ZZ ?; DT ?; JY [pʰu³]; CY ?; LZ [pʰu⁷]; HK [fu⁸ᶫ]; WC ?

In Jieyang, there seems to have been a deletion of the /ʔ/ coda.

In Haikou, it is used in the word fu⁸ᶫ tiau³ "to scold". Compare Cantonese 屌 "to copulate > to scold".

*b-

䆀 'ugly'

PSM *bai³
Douglas (1873): XM bái [bai³]
QZ [bai³]; ZZ [bai³]; DT ?; JY [bai³]; CY ?; LZ [bai³]; HK ?; WC ?

Unclear how this word relates to 否 'bad'.

卯 'to hit hard'

PSM *bau³
Douglas (1873): ---
QZ ---; ZZ ---; DT ?; JY [bau³]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK [vau³]; WC [bau³]

木 'wood' (modified)

PSM *bak⁸ (Kwok *mak⁸)
Douglas (1873): XM ba̍k [bak⁸]
QZ [bak⁸]; ZZ [bak⁸]; DT [baʔ⁸]; JY [bak⁸]; CY [bak⁸]; LZ [mɔk⁸]; HK [vak⁸]; WC [bak⁸]

Kwok (2018) reconstructs this word with *m- based on Haifeng [mak⁸], but it seems to be an irregular reflex in words like 木蝨／木虱 (mùshī) [mak⁸ sak⁷] 'bedbug'; the regular reflex [bak⁸] is attested in words like 木工 (mùgōng) [bak⁸ kaŋ¹]*. Also, the Hainanese forms are more reliable for determining *m- vs. *b-.

Kwok also lists [boʔ⁸] for Datian, but this seems to be literary. I have replaced it with [baʔ⁸], as in 木蝨／木虱 (mùshī) [baʔ⁸ saʔ⁷] 'bedbug'.

The Leizhou form is clearly literary and would thus not contribute to the reconstruction.

未 'not yet'

PSM *buø⁶
Douglas (1873): XM bē [be⁶]; QZ bȫ [bø⁶]; ZZ bōe [bue⁶]
QZ [bə⁵]; ZZ [bue⁶]; DT ?; JY [bue⁶]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK ?; WC ?

欲 'to wish; will'

PSM *buøʔ⁷
Douglas (1873): XM beh [beʔ⁷]; QZ böh [bøʔ⁷], boh [boʔ⁷]; ZZ boeh [bueʔ⁷]
QZ [bəʔ⁷]; ZZ [bueʔ⁷ ~ beʔ⁷]; DT [boʔ⁷]; JY ---; CY ---; LZ [buɛ⁷]; HK [mo⁸ᶫ]; WC [beʔ⁷]

Zhangzhou [beʔ⁷] may be influenced by Xiamen.

The Datian form seems to be irregular. A borrowing from neighbouring counties in Quanzhou?

It is unclear whether the Haikou word is related.

覕 'to hide'

PSM *biʔ⁷
Douglas (1873): XM bih [biʔ⁷]
QZ [biʔ⁷]; ZZ [biʔ⁷]; DT ?; JY [biʔ⁷]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK ?; WC ?

莫 'don't'

PSM *boʔ⁸
Douglas (1873): XM bo̍h [boʔ⁸]

𢪱 'to strike with a stick; to whip'

PSM *but⁸
Douglas (1873): XM bu̍t [but⁸]
QZ [but⁸]; ZZ [but⁸]; DT ?; JY [buk⁸]; CY ?; LZ [buk⁸]; HK ?; WC [but⁸]

幔 'to drape'

PSM *muã¹
Douglas (1873): XM moaⁿ [muã¹]
QZ [muã¹]; ZZ [buã¹]; DT ?; JY [mua¹]; CY ?; LZ [mua¹]; HK [mua¹]; WC [mua¹]

瞞 'to conceal'

PSM *muã²
Douglas (1873): XM moâⁿ [muã²]
QZ [muã²]; ZZ [buã²]; DT ?; JY ?; CY ?; LZ [mua²]; HK ?; WC [mua²]

鰻 'eel'

PSM *muã²
Douglas (1873): XM moâⁿ [muã²]
QZ [muã²]; ZZ [buã²]; DT [muã²]; JY [mua²]; CY ?; LZ [mua²]; HK ?; WC ?

滿 'full'

PSM *muã³
Douglas (1873): XM moáⁿ [muã³]
QZ [muã³]; ZZ [buã³]; DT [muã³]; JY [mua³]; CY ?; LZ [mua³]; HK [mua³]; WC [mua³]

蔓 'pubic hair'

PSM *muã⁶
Douglas (1873): ---
QZ ---; ZZ ---; DT ?; JY ?; CY ?; LZ [mua¹]; HK [mua⁵]; WC ?

In Xiamen and Taiwanese as [muã⁶], mostly preserved in the phrase [lan⁶ muã⁶], used as insult to describe someone who is shameless or useless.

The tone in Haikou is irregular; the expected tone is tone 1, which is a rising tone, like tone 5.

沐 'to soil; to defile'

PSM *mak⁷
Douglas (1873): XM bak [bak⁷]
QZ [bak⁷]; ZZ [bak⁷]; DT ?; JY ?; CY ?; LZ [mak⁷]; HK ?; WC ?

晚 'late'

PSM *muĩ³
Douglas (1873): XM mńg [mŋ³], ZZ múiⁿ [muĩ³]
QZ [bŋ³]; ZZ [buĩ³]; DT ?; JY [mɯŋ³]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK ?; WC ?

物 'thing'

PSM *miʔ⁸ ~ *muøʔ⁸
Douglas (1873): XM mi̍hⁿ [mĩʔ⁸]; QZ/TA mn̍gh [mŋʔ⁸]
QZ [mŋʔ⁸]; ZZ [bĩʔ⁸]; DT [bue³ ~ muẽ⁵]; JY [muẽʔ⁸]; CY ?; LZ [mi⁴]; HK [mi⁶]; WC [miʔ⁸]

The Quanzhou form is possibly derived like this: *muøʔ⁸ > məʔ⁸ > mə̃ʔ⁸ > mŋʔ⁸.

The tone in the Datian form is unclear; different sources record different tones, and neither tone is expected.

蜜 'honey'

PSM *mit⁸
Douglas (1873): XM bi̍t [bit⁸]
QZ [bit⁸]; ZZ [bit⁸]; DT ?; JY [bek⁸]; CY ?; LZ [biek⁸]; HK [mit⁸]; WC [mit⁸]

Reconstruction to *m- is solely based on the Hainanese members.

罔 'reluctantly; for now'

PSM *moŋ³
Douglas (1873): XM bóng [bɔŋ³]
QZ [lɔŋ³]; ZZ [bɔŋ³]; DT ?; JY ?; CY ?; LZ ?; HK [moŋ³]; WC ?

It is unclear whether the Quanzhou form is related.

Fielde (1883) records mńg [mŋ³], meaning "for the time, just, merely", which may be related to this word.

膜 'membrane; film'

PSM *moʔ⁸
Douglas (1873): XM mɵ̍hⁿ [mɔ̃ʔ⁸]
QZ [mɔ̃ʔ⁸ ~ boʔ⁸]; ZZ [mɔ̃ʔ⁸]; DT ?; JY [moʔ⁸]; CY ?; LZ [mɔ⁴]; HK ?; WC ?

丈夫 'male'

PSM *ta¹ pou¹
Douglas (1873): XM ta-pɵ [ta¹ pɔ¹]; ZZ tsa-pɵ [tsa¹ pɔ¹]
QZ [ta¹ pɔ¹]; ZZ [tsa¹ pɔ¹]; DT [teŋ⁵ bu¹]; JY [ta¹ pou¹]; CY ?; LZ [tsa¹ pɛu¹]; HK [ta⁴ ɓɔu¹ ~ tɔu⁴ ɓɔu¹]; WC [ta¹ ɓou¹]

The Datian form may be influenced by Central Min (e.g., Shaxian [tiŋ⁴ pu¹]).

The Zhangzhou, Leizhou and Hainanese forms may be due to analogy with 查某 (cf. English male and female).

PSM *tiam⁶
Douglas (1873): XM tiām [tiam⁶]
QZ [tiam⁴]; ZZ [tiam⁶]; DT ?; JY [tiam⁶]; CY ?; LZ [tiam⁷]; HK ?; WC ?

The tone in Quanzhou may be a result of reanalysis. The tone in Leizhou is irregular.

釘 'nail'

PSM *tan¹ ~ *tiŋ¹
Douglas (1873): XM teng [tiŋ¹], QZ tan [tan¹]
QZ [tan¹]; ZZ [tiŋ¹]; DT ?; JY [teŋ¹]; CY ?; LZ [taŋ¹]; HK [ɗaŋ¹]; WC [ɗan¹]

Quanzhou, Leizhou, and Hainanese forms trace back to *tan¹, whereas Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Chaoshan forms trace back to *tiŋ¹.

釘 'to nail'

PSM *tan⁵ ~ *tiŋ⁵
Douglas (1873): XM tèng [tiŋ⁵], QZ tàn [tan⁵]
QZ [tan⁵]; ZZ [tiŋ⁵]; DT ?; JY [teŋ⁵]; CY ?; LZ [taŋ⁵]; HK [ɗaŋ⁵]; WC ?

Quanzhou, Leizhou, and Hainanese forms trace back to *tan⁵, whereas Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Chaoshan forms trace back to *tiŋ⁵.

Douglas (1873): XM tī [ti⁶]
QZ [ti⁴]; ZZ [ti⁶]; DT [te⁵]; JY [ti⁶]; CY ?; LZ [ti¹]; HK [ɗi⁶]; WC [ɗi¹]

The Quanzhou tone may actually be tone 6 since this word is always sandhied (tone 6 sandhis to tone 4).

The Datian form is irregular (borrowed from Central Min?).

斷 'to break off'

PSM *tuĩ⁴
Douglas (1873): XM tn̄g [tŋ⁶], ZZ tūiⁿ [tuĩ⁶]
QZ [tŋ⁴]; ZZ [tuĩ⁶]; DT ?; JY [tɯŋ⁴]; CY ?; LZ [tui⁴]; HK [ɗui⁶]; WC [ɗui⁶]

QZ [tiʔ⁸]; ZZ [tiʔ⁸]; DT [tiaʔ⁸]; JY [tiʔ⁸]; CY [tiʔ⁸]; LZ [tʰiap⁸]; HK [ɗi⁶]; WC [ɗiʔ⁸]

The Datian form is probably from a literary layer; compare Xiamen [tiap⁸].

The Leizhou form is probably borrowed from Hakka.

挃 'to want'

PSM *tiʔ⁸
Douglas (1873): XM ti̍h [tiʔ⁸], ZZ ti̍hⁿ [tĩʔ⁸]
QZ [tiʔ⁸]; ZZ [tĩʔ⁸]; DT ?; JY ?; CY ?; LZ [ti⁴]; HK ?; WC ?

The Zhangzhou form is unexpectedly nasalized.

逃 'to escape'

PSM *to²
Douglas (1873): XM tô [to²]
QZ [to²]; ZZ [to²]; DT [tɤ²]; JY [to²]; CY ?; LZ [tɔ²]; HK [ɗo²]; WC [ɗo²]

貯 'to fill'

PSM *tioi³
Douglas (1873): XM tóe [tue³], ZZ té [te³]
QZ [tue³]; ZZ [te³]; DT [tiɔ³]; JY [tiu³]; CY ?; LZ ?; HK [ɗiu³]; WC [ɗiu³]

QZ [la² li³]; ZZ [la² li²]; DT [la² li³]; JY [laʔ⁸ li³]; CY ?; LZ [lɔ² li³ (laŋ²)]; HK [laŋ² li³ (laŋ²)]; WC ?

The reconstruction of the first syllable is uncertain; it is mostly based on the evidence from Haikou. Assuming *lan² as the reconstruction, the *-n would have been deleted in Fujian varieties and reduced to [ʔ] in Chaoshan varieties, probably because of the following *l-. The rime in Leizhou is quite irregular; it may be due to reduction in a less prominent position.

The tone in the second syllable of the Zhangzhou form is irregular.

The Datian form has an irregular reflex on the first syllable. Note that [tso¹] and [tsoʔ⁸] are almost identical ([tso˧] and [tsoʔ˧], respectively) after tone sandhi. Assuming that the glottal stop is epenthetic, the only irregularity is the vowel [o], which may be due to regressive rounding assimilation with the [b], similar to Haikou [tɔu⁴].

In some varieties of Hokkien, the meaning has become more metaphorical: 'to hate' and 'to repent'.

Perhaps 'to cherish; to kiss' in Leizhou [tsʰɔi⁷], Haikou [se⁸ᶫ] and Wenchang [soiʔ⁷] is the same word?

Reconstruction to *kɯn² is supported by Chaozhou /kɯŋ²/. The Jieyang form can only be derived from *kɯn², and the Quanzhou form can only be derived from *kian². The Leizhou form can be reflexes of either.

Reconstruction to *kɯn⁴ is supported by Chaozhou /kɯŋ⁴/*. The Zhangzhou and Chaoshan forms can only be derived from *kɯn⁴, and the Quanzhou form can only be derived from *kian⁴. The Leizhou and Hainan forms can be reflexes of either.

The deletion of the initial in Jieyang and other Chaoshan dialects seems to be relatively recent. Fielde (1883) records both ût [ut⁸] and gût [ɡut⁸], which suggests two competing forms in the late 19th century.

The Datian form seems to be from a literary layer.

The /k-/ form in Zhangzhou is possibly a fortition due to dissimilation with the preceding /ŋ/ (thanks Shiro for the idea!).

The Jieyang form may also be derived from a form with the fortition to /k-/, and it may have further undergone rebracketing to be the coda of the first syllable.

In Datian, the initial in the first syllable has been deleted irregularly.

In Guangdong and Hainan, the vowel in the first syllable has become [e] or [ɛ] by coalescence.

The Quanzhou and Jieyang tones may actually be tone 6 since this word is always sandhied (both tone 4 and tone 6 sandhi to the same tone).

The form in Wenchang is from PSM *au⁴.
