Checking the Hanzi for some basic Hokkien words

[hong]

倚 baidu is the hanzi.catonese use 埋。

[niuc]

Taiwanese usually write 偎 for ua2, so i1-ua2 = 依偎. Or should i1-ua2 = 依依? Btw 依偎 is also used in Mandarin.

[ong]

In 泉州市方言志 it is 文白读 for the same word 倚倚 i ua.

...
I notic that Minnan makes a distinction between "smoke" (ean7) and "tobacco" (hun7) that modern Mandarin and Yue does not. Could it be a historic convergence of 煙 and 菸 in Mandarin and Yue, with the different pronunciations now preserved in Min?

Any chance tobacco hun7 is 薰?

[ong]

薰 hun1

[Mark Yong]

Is the hanzi for the quantifier for 'one roll', i.e. "kh'un" 卷?

[ong]

卷 kng 3 or kng 3 貫 for 串

[ong]

卷 kng 3 or kng 3 贯 for 串

[ong]

卷 kng 3 or kng 3 贯 for 串

[tantg]

薰 hun1

That was in reply to my suggestion ---
Any chance tobacco hun7 is 薰?

Well, I merely quoted Mark Yong's tonal notation in his question in the first place. Mark: what *is* your tonal system?

Anyway, another possibility that "hun" in tobacco/cigaratte is 燻, from the following line in another thread

烏燻間 ou-hun-keng = 鴉片館 (opium den)
