wait a while; wait a moment | Mand. also: 等一會兒 | Cant.: 等一陣 | Note: Often written by HK print media as '等一吓' where '吓' is a coined character for the purpose of the pronunciation /haa5/ in the mistaken belief that '下' can only be pronounced /haa6/. To add to the confusion, '吓' is also the official simplified version of '嚇'.
