I asked Prof. Ye about a different word (Liao) which had the meaning destitute in the power he read us. He said the same word has many other definitions. In Chinese, words spelled the same way have different meanings just like in English (but I think it happens more often in Chinese). So though its funny Yuan means apes the context of the word changes the meaning. Just putting it out there. 😀
