There is 五祖 Ngor5-Chor2 temple in Bagansiapiapi, but not sure if it is related to this. The spelling indeed looks like Cuanciu variant, though 'ir'/'y' and 'er' are "merged" with 'e'. Interestingly that's how most of my Bagan friends do when they try to write Hokkien in romanization. Anyway in Indonesian, 'e' is used to spell both 'e' and 'er'.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=527">niuc</a> — Tue Jan 18, 2011 9:04 pm</p><hr />
