User:Oh! Tea/hoi

Etymology 1
Presumably from simply because of the fact that  is also from Malay  idk maybe being from hong kong would make more sense if it's not documented anywhere which gives me the impression that it's recent or I'm just not digging deep enough.

Alternative forms

 * oi

Interjection

 * 1)  a call to gain someone's attention; hey!

Etymology 2
Contraction of and also written as 𫏬 apparently from this random article.

Verb

 * 1)  to scrape side by side, usually causing damage; to scratch

Interjection

 * 1)  hoi (not really sure, i mean it's definitely just a reduction, but i feel like there's never a /ʔ/ preceding it so there's like an underlying or really weak /h/ before, whereas the next definition definitely has a /ʔ/ before so maybe diff etymology)
 * 2)  response to someone calling for you (or however you wanna phrase it); yes
