gaap3 gap3

jia1 jia2

[粵] gaap3 | [國] jia1
[1] [v] press from both sides; be wedged between
[2] [n] clip; clamp; holder
[3] [v] mix; mingle; intersperse

[粵] gaap3 | [國] jia2
[adj] double-layered; lined

[粵] gaap3 gap3 - Cantonese only (Note 1)
[1] [v] pool/work together (Note 2)
[2] [adv] forcibly; with coercion; with great effort (Note 3)
[3] [conj] and also; as well as | [國] 而且

(Note 1) Jyutping gaap3 is colloquial pronunciation; gap3 is literary. They are almost interchangeable, with gaap3 much more popular.
(Note 2) The Mandarin equivalent is 合. Some Canto dictionaries actually use 合 for this "pool together" meaning and pronounce 合 as gaap3 instead of hap6.
(Note3): For the "forcibly" meaning, 夾 has a nasal-stop alternant in 監 [gaam3]. They are completely interchangeable.
