Need citation for 主鄭 (i.e., was this the way this group of rulers was written in Sino-Vietnamese characters)? Badagnani (talk) 18:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

It seems to be the right set of characters for Chúa Trịnh, according to the characters given by the Nom Foundation's database. Badagnani (talk) 18:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The word "Chúa" is a possible reading of the character 主. However, the term 主鄭 doesn't follow Chinese syntax and probably wouldn't be used in an official context. 鄭主 seems more likely. DHN (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The instances I found seem to be on "unofficial" websites like discussion forums. One would think there would be a construction like 鄭主 in the old sources, but a Google search doesn't give such a name as conclusively as it does for the other, more "normal" dynasties.
