New Members Lac1111 Posted September 16, 2017 at 08:34 PM New Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 at 08:34 PM Can anyone tells me what the middle word translates to? I know the top is strong and the bottom is brave. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingfunny Posted September 17, 2017 at 11:22 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 at 11:22 AM That top one doesn't necessarily mean strong. Also, these aren't words, they're characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Lac1111 Posted September 18, 2017 at 02:21 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 at 02:21 PM What would the meaning of the characters be? I'm gathering "strong, blessed, brace" but now I'm thinking I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted September 18, 2017 at 05:10 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 at 05:10 PM Intense, *, brave *this is not a commonly used character and only shows up in combinations with other characters to mean things like reign, throne, how things turned out for a given dynasty... I don't think it is tangibly understood as "blessing" by itself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingfunny Posted September 18, 2017 at 05:33 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 at 05:33 PM We could make a series of guesses at what the intended meaning was, but that would only serve to show that there is no apparent meaning. The only person who knows what it should mean, is the person who has it printed on their body for the rest of their life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted September 18, 2017 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 at 06:37 PM In several of my Pleco dictionaries, 祚 is blessing/福氣/福佑, so it does appear to have that meaning, although it's not exactly the most common character for 'blessing'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
