COMMAND that one SHOULD NOT to ACT in a DEFINED way.
SHOULD NOTMUST NOT
Old Chinese Criteria
1. The most common prohibitive particle is wù 勿, which usually precedes transitive verbs with omitted objects. 2. Wú 毋 is a prohibitive particle which normally requires that any transitive verb it precedes must retain its object. 3. Wú 無 appears often used for wú 毋, but there is a clear tendency for the word to indicate a generalised "one should not" rather than a "don't" hic et nunc.
