Z'ev, Typically the chinese characters are hou4 (thick) (as in Hou Po the herb, if that helps), and bo2 (thin) (as in Bo He the herb, if that helps). Sometimes hou4 zhong4 is used, (zhong4 as in " heavy " ). Hope that is of some help. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
