    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.

      1. WL fails to note the cases where the transitive verbs after 勿 do have objects, and the precise conditions under which the word is NOT a prohibitive negation.
