ps: the ku3 of cha2ku3 is not registered in Windows. This how you write it:

although it says "a pot for boiling meat and vegetables", but from what I checked in Guang Yun, it says only "container". Compare with this one:
http://www.chineselanguage.org/cgi-bin/view.php?query=76EC&encoding=text&mode=&lang=en&beijing=pinyin&canton=jyutping&meixian=pinjim&sound=0&fields=hakka,mandarin,english
Windows has this character--> 盬
The link says, "[a] salt pit [b] leisure [c] pot [d] drink". There are "pot" and "drink", I'm not sure about the "drink", but there is "pot" written. In Guang Yun only "salt pit" meaning is written.

I stick to the first link for this time. Gotta do more research.

寧賣祖宗田,不忘祖宗言
寧賣祖宗坑,不忘祖宗聲

nen2 mai5 tsu3 tsung1 thien2, put6 mong5 tsu3 tsung1 nyien2
nen2 mai5 tsu3 tsung1 hang1, put6 mong5 tsu3 tsung1 shang1

It's better to sell my ancestor's ricefield than to forgot my ancestor's language (Hak Fa)
It's better to sell my ancestor's grave than to forgot my ancestor's language (Hak Fa)

This proverb shows that the Hakka people are really treasure and concern about their heritage language, Hak Fa. Hak Fa is more valuable compare to mere physical things, which could quickly disappeared in a nick of time, such as money and properties. We can always try to look more for them, but once we lost our Hak Fa, it would be hard to re-obtain it, also we've lost our identity. I know this, because I am one of those linguistic freak who always imagining dan daydreaming, how would 1000 years ago Ancient Middle Chinese sounds when it spoken. :D

Frankly speaking, I think Hakka is the same like other Chinese Han tribe. Of course there are differences in culture, custom, etc, but those are only slight differences. The only one that signifies we are Hakka is the language! Hak Fa! In this modern era, we already wear Western clothes and using high-tech stuffs anyway.

So treasure it, speak it, write it, sing with it, hum with it, scream with it, curse with it, dream-talk with it, scream with it when reach your orgasm!
