pōng thé-tāng
weigh. Take the measurement unit from a scale.
Compare to nîu 量 (nîu thé-tāng)
pōng literally means pound, the unit for weight.
tsı̍t-pōng one pound
gōo-pōng five pound
but using pōng instead of nîu is very authentic way of weighing something/someone on a scale.
nîu is influenced by Chinese usage of taking measure.
hán-bûn: 磅體重
Chinese: 量體重
