the meaning of the verb "wun"

Post by Stephen »

Hi

I wanted to see what the verb "wun" means, as in "wun lei" ("wun" pronounced like in the English "won")but, not the "wun" as in to find something/someone.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

If it's not wan2 'to find', then perhaps it's wan3 'to confine'.

But yes, more context please.
