    Old Chinese Contrasts
    1. Some words refer primarily to prisoners of war (fú 俘, huò 獲, qín 擒 lǔ 虜 ), others refer to the arresting of criminal culprits (qiú 囚, jū 拘, zhí3 執, dài 逮 ), some can be used both for prisoners of war and for criminals (bǔ 捕 ).

    2. some words refer not only to the arresting, but focus on subsequent detention (qiú 囚, jū 拘 ).
