How it's used
This term is strictly a historical proper noun used to refer to the Tungusic people of Northeast Asia. It is almost exclusively encountered in academic, historical, or literary contexts rather than daily conversation. Because it refers to a specific ancient tribal confederation, it does not function as a descriptive adjective or a common noun in modern Cantonese.
