hilary said:The last lord I met in a narrow street was a teenager, school dropout, sitting in the narrow aisles of a bookshop's esoteric section. He was extraordinarily well-read in metaphysics from all cultures - much more so than I am - and we talked for hours.

the inferior part represents a lamp, the flame of which is the dot. One writes (..?) to mean a lamp, the character (..)? signifying (zhuan-zhu3) prince, master. Because, say the interpreters, the prince rises above the multitude and is seen by all, as the flame rises and shines over the lamp.
bradford said:Hi Luis-
Take it mundanely, as political superior, or as master or mastery. Your dictionary is including post-missionary usages of the word, after the 9th century ce. When the Zhouyi was written even the Jews had barely been exposed to that notion of god. The Chinese had their Shang Di, highest divinity or ultimate ancestor, but this wasn't really a personal deity like notions of god from the West.
