Dictionary definitions, logic, or operational meanings?
All 3? It would take a book! And many would go to sleep!
There would be operational differences between sub styles.

hi lotus chi sua means sticky hands meany you should stick to your enermys arms to find him and punch him it also leads to trapping hands ete and sens tivatey training in wing chun peace russell sherry

[wahh]

I thought the goal of chi sao was to move beyond playing with the hands and to develop sensitivity to the point where you dominate his center. Similar to Taijiquan tui shou? Or maybe thats just me wishing wing chun was more like taiji.
