Would someone be able to help me with 127d - Chinese crime group
t?ng
I have T from 126a integer
N from 140a horn & G from 148a aglet
I can't seem to find an answer - tang, teng, ting, tong, tung !!! ha - I've gone nuts trying to find it - have I gone wrong somewhere???
Hi tiggybob
I have "tong" as the answer in my solution. My reference :
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tong (Chinese: 堂; Cantonese Yale: tong4; Pinyin: táng; literal: hall) is a Chinese American secret society. Although tongs were originally created for mutual support and protection, especially from other local ethnic groups hostile to the rapid Chinese immigration, their activities often flouted the law or became outright criminal.
Hope this helps.
Thanks heaps Boomerang & Dutchy for the outstanding explanations.
Yahoo, that's them all completed, off to the postbox tomorrow!
