Definitions and meaning of puer

puer

Etymology 1

Perhaps from French puer.

Pronunciation

  • Rhymes: -uːə(ɹ), -ʊə(ɹ)

Noun

puer (uncountable)

  1. (chiefly historical) Dung (of dogs, fowls, etc) used in tanning, after applying lime, to soften skins.

Etymology 2

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of 普洱 (pǔ'ěr), without syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)).

Pronunciation

  • (General American) IPA(key): /ˈpʊəɹ/, /ˈpu.əɹ/

Noun

puer

  1. Alternative form of pu'er
Usage notes

Puer can be considered a misspelling of pu'er. In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, puer is not allowed since a word made up of pu and er would be spelled as pu'er (cf. pu'er). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.

Etymology 3
