Thank you Godwine! I am Anglo-Chinese, but my Hakka relatives do not know the term either! As a matter of interest, this is what a Hokkien speaker told me about chi sau:
Question.'
By the way, as a matter of interest, how is 黐手 (chi sau) pronounced in Hokkien?
Thank you.
Answer.
Hokkien uses 粘手(Niam C'iu) rather than 黐手 (T'i C'iu).
But both doesn't sound anything like Kakei.'
Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated.
A bow to you.
