今á日咱beh來稽考ê字是chám kah chām，chit 2字ê漢字一般lóng是寫做kāng 1字，m̄-koh讀音to̍h ē分做2種，像講斬(chám)首，斬(chām)頭，ĕ，nah ē án-ne？明明lóng是thâi頭，nah ē 2塊詞ê音無kāng款？Che咱後壁to̍h sûi來分析看māi--leh。
Koh來，chit ê chám，各位nā有leh看古裝ê台語戲劇--ê，應該是chhiāⁿ-chhiāⁿ ē聽--tio̍h。像講，nā是有teh聽三國--ê，「過五關，斬六將」chit句話絕對是聽kah臭phú--ah。咱koh有真chē chám neh，斬草除根，斬斷情絲，先斬後奏，斬首示眾，sak出午門候斬，nā看tio̍h大貪官大歹人去hông sak--出-去，心內to̍h真暢，人講，做戲khong，看戲gōng，to̍h是án-ne。當然mā有咱平素時to̍h有leh講ê話，像講「Chit枝竹á ùi chia ka chám ho͘斷，我beh the̍h去插tī菜瓜栽á hia，hō͘伊通soan籐起lih棚á。」
Koh轉來講chām，咱有1 kóa詞mā報hō͘ ta̍k-ê知，斬雞肉，kā雞肉khǹg tī砧頂面，切ho͘ 1塊1塊thang好食，講tio̍h che，sûi to̍h想tio̍h白斬雞，ùn hiam椒á豆油，有夠好配飯！切肉kah魚chit類--ê，lóng ē-tàng講chām。中藥材khǹg tī柴砧面頂，tok做細塊細塊thang好choaⁿ，che mā叫做chām。Nā紙斬á是the̍h來斬紙ê家私，che mā-sī用chhi̍h--ê ùi頂面出力kā紙切做koe̍h。話koh講翻頭，是án-chóaⁿ講是chām頭？應該to̍h是像戲leh演--ê，用狗頭鍘（cha̍h）去chām，chiah講chām頭，nā hit款叫犯人跪--leh，1 ê惡面--ê gia̍h 1 ki大刀chhu-chhu phut--lòe he，應該chiah是斬首。
