地位 sounds like tek-ui or te-kui: singer's mistake or lyrics should be different? In the Hokkien song 男人的汗 (Min title 查埔人的汗, lyrics here, there is the following line:


  人生行到遮 地位亲像山


It should sound:


  Lin-sing kiann kau tsia &nbsp;&nbsp; te-ui tshin-tshiunn suann


Instead, in the video, both at 00:31-00:38 and at 2:04-2:10, it sounds:


  Lin-sing kiann kau tsia &nbsp;&nbsp; tek-ui/te-kui tshin-tshiunn suann


First thing that comes to mind is to fix it as 地塊, but that would be te-khuai, and no a is heard, nor any aspiration. So I tried browsing my reference for characters read kui, and found the following:


關 | kuinn
刮 | kuih
規 | kui
歸 | kui
胿 | kui
龜 | kui
機 | kui
圭 | kui
鬼 | kúi
癸 | kúi
幾 | kúi
軌 | kúi
詭 | kúi
貴 | kuì
癸 | kuí
季 | kuì
挂 | kuì
劌 | ku`
瑰 | kuì
桂 | kuì
季 | kuì
膭 | kuī
櫃 | kuī
跪 | kuī
饋 | kuī
葵 | kuî


Could any of these be the right character here? If so, which? Otherwise, how can I explain this tek-ui/te-kui which should be te-ui?
The [q]/[k] sound came from the glottal stop [ʔ] which must be placed between「地」and「位」when speaking the word. Contrary to its conventional phonetic notation,「位」actually has a glottal plosive consonant before the vowel. So 'te-ui' is actually read as [te11ʔui22] rather than [te11ui22] without separation between the two letters. The difference is similar to that between "come in" [khamʔin] and "comin'" [khamin]. Because this guy is singing, it is easy for the glottal stop to corrupt into an uvular [q] or a velar [k] plosive. (Having a full glottal stop in the middle of a phrase will spoil the legato. )
