Chinese speaker(s?):
What, if anything, does "chong" mean in Chinese? Does it mean "heavy", "to be heavy", etc.?
Sometimes, in translating Japanese, it is helpful to see the kanji. (I don't know the Chinese word.) but I can't find how it's written. Sorry.
There are apparently some 1500 different dialects of Chinese, so I realize I might not be able to get an answer.
Can anyone help?
