Same syllable, six tones

laanlaan1—laan2—laan3—兰laan4orchid懒laan5lazy烂laan6soft
zekzek1—zek2—隻zek3classifier for birds and certain animals…zek4—zek5—zek6—

Characters whose customary Unihan reading (kCantonese) is this syllable in each tone, chosen as in the tone atlas (2013 standard level, then the number of CC-CEDICT words they form), with CC-Canto 2017's meaning for that reading; a dash means no catalogue character has that reading. Checked syllables (-p, -t, -k) normally carry tones 1, 3 and 6. Character readings, not word readings; no frequency implied.
