woon = "literature", "warm"

["S. L. Lee" <sllee@asiawind.com>]

Zinfad,

Woon (Wen) can be 文 溫 聞. The first two occur in both Hakka and non-Hakka surn
ames. I have not heard of the third one in Hakka yet. 文天祥 was from 吉安, a
Hakka territory. There are many 文 in Hong Ko ng, whether they recognize
themselves as Hakka or descendants of Wen Tianxia ng may not be a prove they are
not Hak ka. We can only leave it as a question.  溫 is also a surname from
Taishan(Guang dong), which was quite hostile to Hakka too.
