"In the <E-mng Hong-gian Li-tian> page 238, hoan 番 (2) ku-chheng koa-kok hek lam-iuN chu-kok tek: ... 番邦 hoan-pang." He give the meaning of "hoan-pang" as foreign state or the states of South East Asia.

In the native E-mng word, this word "番邦 hoan-pang" just means the territories of "Tupot 吐番". The Tupot was a state in Tibet at the time of Tong Dynasty. Past old time, there were many places for the listening of stories in E-mng city. The story-tellers usually said the legends of Tong Dynasty. Such as the "battles of Tong with Tupot". "Su Lim-kui pah hoan-pang" (The General Su Lim-kui attack Tupot) was a very welcome story by the popular listeners. When anybody said the word of hoan-pang, the listeners of native E-mng person understanded which was mean the Tupot immediately.

what Prof.Ciu said in xiamen dict foreign states it means tupot or any other countries.。Just like mandarin 旧时中国称外国为番邦 =文成公主下嫁番邦。minnan is special about using it to mean 南洋。

Although, Pro. Chiu may be a native E-mng speaker, but he is a children before 1950s. When the time of 1950s to 1970s, he may be educated and worked with the Mandarin speaking. His friends, members of family, relatives, neighbourhood did not have any person talking about this word "chan-keng" in their conversation. Therefore, he did not know the "chan-keng" meaning the "inn or small hotel" in native E-mng speaking before 1950s.

The author of that article http://www.qzwb.com/gb/content/2005-08/ ... 771181.htm 棧間 (store), he chose the word "chan-keng" to mean the storehouse that he may be influenced by the <Phou-thong-oe Ban-lam hong-gian li-tian> or <E-mng hong-gian li-tien>.

This word "Chan-keng" meaning the inn or small hotel also said in An-khoe, Lam-oaN and Chin-kang. In 1970s, my ancle travelled to Bin-li-lah (Manila), he lived in a chan-keng (small hotel) which was owned by a Chin-kang speaker. This owner talked with my uncle many about his business, when he said about his inn as using this word "chan-keng". I know a person who is an An-khoe speaker, he told me about the story of An-khoe, that one was about the "chan-keng" (inn), he use chan-keng to mean the inn. A friend of me, he is Lam-oaN talking about his family ran a "chan-keng" (small hotel) in the "Phu-su 浮嶼" before 1950s. I heard many about the word of chan-keng, so when I see this <E-mng hong-gian li-tien> give chan-keng as the meaning of store or storehouse, I know that is a wrong meaning.

hokkien / mandarin / english
外邦 koa-pang = 外國 = foreign state
番邦 hoan-pang = 吐番 = Tupot
番洋 hoan-iuN = 南洋 = the South East Asia
番爿 hoan-peng = 印尼 Indonesia
1. In the Dutch time, this word 番爿 hoan-peng meaned the Indonesia.
2. But now, many people means 番爿 hoan-peng as this word 番洋 hoan-iuN = 南洋 nan-iang (in Mandarin).

番也 hoan-a = 外族 foreign nation
生番 chhiN-hoan = The foreign nations live in a hunting society.
熟番 sek-hoan = The foreign nations live in a agriculture society.
豬高番 ti-ko-hoan = The nations of hoan-iuN, in their custome they do not eat the pig.

文成公主下嫁 吐番 (mandarin) = 文成公主下嫁 番邦 (hokkien)

About the states in Tong Dynasty, the old native E-mng speakers know there are Ko-le (korean) in the East, Thut-khit (Turks) in the North and Hoan-pang (Tupot) in the West. The word Viking is a term of history, when we hear Viking then we know that is mean the Medieval, anyone no think about the modern states of Norway, Sweden and Danmark in their memory. This hoan-pang is also a term of history, we say hoan-pang then others understanding it is mean Tupot in the past Tong Dynasty. This hoan-pang is a special term to indicate the "state of Tupot". This word 番洋 hoan-iuN is using to mean "南洋 nan-iang (Mandarin)". Now many person use 番爿 hoan-peng for 番洋 hoan-iuN, hoan-iuN is lost in the memory of Hokkien speakers.

>> 豬高番 ti-ko-hoan = The nations of hoan-iuN, in their custome they do not eat the pig.

I have my doubt about this. I thought 豬高 is somehow related to "dago", with the same derogatory overtone.

Interestingly, "dago" is used for the latin whites such as Portugese, Spaniards, and Italians, whereas 豬高 is used for the brown people such as Malays.

It is crazy to say Prof.ciu doesn't know what is the other meaning of 棧間,dict don't have to include all those out of style words.I don't plan to email him asking these two stupid question at all.
You are only talking about unimportant things,it is not about 本字 or regular words like 語氣詞= koh which is missing but appear in 廈門方言志 and many articles.
