One last query - there has been some discussion on the 'other' site but I'n not convinced either way.

Support old Chinese warehouse (4)

I have HONG as it fits the definition - but how SUPPORT?

The alternative is HANG which is also a Chinese shop/mercantile house apparently

Any ideas?

If the definition of HANG is as you say (which I can't find) then I would go for that as one of the meanings of Hang in Chambers is 'to support against gravity'.

Hong is given as

"1 An obsolete form of hang–noun
2 A Chinese warehouse, consisting of a succession of rooms or store-houses."

Whereas I can't find HANG = Chinese warehouse. So HONG seems to work better.

I have changed my mind. I missed the significance of 'old' meaning 'obsolete' so will go along with dr b.

There is a reference to Hang and Hong here:

http://books.google.c...g%20warehouse&f=false

But I guess it comes down to what's in Chambers (I don't have a hard copy)

Hong is, Hang isn't (at least with the definition of a Chinese warehouse) so Hong is beginning to look better all the time.
