When placed at the end of a sentence, glottalized pronunciations are preferred. The compound tends to attatch onto the preceding term.
This orthography is an etymological spelling that can be applied to all lects. However, its usage may be limited, and phonetic spellings, such as 辣浪, 勒浪, may be preferred instead.
This term is considered archaic in mordern Urban Shanghainese, and 在許／在许 is preferred instead.
