There are usually multiple Taiwanese readings per Harnji. See TGJT, sutiern, buun-peh-i-thak.

• 歐八馬: Opatmar 🔊 (also can be read Opehbea 🔊)
  • 歐: of, ef, ao, aw 🔊 (aw is colloquial, as in Auciw)
  • 八: pøeq, peq, pad 🔊 (pad is literary for 8)
  • 馬: bea, mar 🔊 (mar is literary for horse)
• 買: bea 🔊 (to buy, see befbe)
• 果汁: køfciab (juice)
• 不要 (m): maix (don't)
• 黑白 (m) -> 烏白: opeh 🔊 (carelessly)

Incidentally, 歐八馬 read as Opehbea sounds similar to 烏白買 opeh-bea 🔊.

Substituted "koefcyciab" for "køfciab" (due to technical difficulty).
