For wife we should use 母 like 我那个母的。妇 for female.
Note that for quanzhou except yongchun,dehua,huian BOO is 55 unlike 52 in others.
boou in southern ciangciu like cantonese 高 sound.

I think from ancient texts we can say 諸母﹐諸婦 for ca boo.But for wife we can only use 母
翁 has no meaning of husband in ancient texts,so it should be kang 公﹐drop k become ang.

In 东山方言志 there are phrase like sui 过，gau 过，so if you are ciangciu from 东山，you can use this kind of sentence.

tsabo, tapo - weren't these originally non-Han words?

That doesn't mean they can't have one (or several) traditionally 'correct' characters, but they would not be cognates in the strict sense ...

Best regards,

There are no proof at all capoo/boo are non-han language.This web site is helpful,the benzi maybe wrong or we can even say crazy.

many people say *pue* around me which means cheat.I can't find it in ciangciu and xiamen dict.It is mentioned in 泉州市方言志 =per 55.
If it is a quanzhou origin word,then someone must have changed it into pue 53.

Hong, thanks a lot for the link!

It's Cuanciu Hokkien dictionary! You are right that it employs different spelling scheme. It seems to mix n and l.
