predecessor Explanation: Th exact choice of words depends on the context, but 'predecessor' should be quite a generic way of saying. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2017-05-14 02:52:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Typo: ThE exact choice of... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2017-05-14 02:56:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And I doubt this is about law. This seems to be related to the previous four terms: 江湖, 角頭, 感訓 and 場子界. Anyway, as already mentioned, the context (such as how these words are being used in the letter/conversation) is lacking here. |
