We are not certain about these, for one of two reasons.
Wiktionary says some of them were built from a word spelled like this one, without saying which meaning, so we show each under every meaning it could have come from.
The rest are spelled a little differently from anything here — a tone mark or an underdot apart — so we cannot tell a misspelling of this word from a word that has no page yet.
Both are fixable on Wiktionary, one word at a time. How to help.

Wiktionary points at “ìdẹ̀”. No word here is spelled that way, so we have linked “idẹ”, which matches once tone marks are ignored. It may be a misspelling, or “ìdẹ̀” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
