huweteng

[ˈhwɛː.t̪ɛŋ]

Borrowed from Hokkien, specifically Quanzhou Hokkien 花當／花当 (hoe-tǹg):
* 買／买 (bóe, “to buy; to purchase”) + 花當／花当 (hoe-tǹg) as per Douglas (1873/1899).
* 花 (hoe, “to spend”, literally “flower; to bloom; to blossom”) + 當／当 (tǹg, “to pawn; to take on mortgage”) according to Manuel (1948).
* 花 (hoe, “to spend”, literally “flower; to bloom; to blossom”) + 檔／档 (tòng, “space”) according to Chan-Yap (1977) while transcribing the latter character as ⟨“tn”⟩. Though in Chan-Yap (1980), she transcribed the latter instead as ⟨“tŋ̣̆”⟩ (POJ: tǹg) with a different character, 擋／挡 (tòng). However, Chinese publications in the Philippines currently use 花檔／花档 to refer to the game. According to (Wang, 1982), 擋／挡 used to be written as 當／当.
The gambling game traces back to China where it is known more popularly and historically as 花會 and has been played since Early Ming Dynasty to Late Qing Dynasty times starting in Coastal China, specifically in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Beijing, and spreading across Inland China and abroad and finally banned last in China since 1949. It has been made illegal in the Philippines in 1907 under American rule. In the 21st century, it is still played illegally in secret in China and the Philippines under the informal economy of both countries, but government-run lotteries are used to regulate and compete against the illegal private practice.
