I've found that Si Gung is one's Grandfather relative to Sifu. And that Si Tai Gung is great grandfather. Does anyone know what the term is for Great Great Grandfather - and in this context I'm referring to Wong Fei Hung.
Thanks, WW

sijo = founder, but in the case of Hfh that would be applicable.

Si-Jo is not founder. Jo-Si is founder.
Si-Jo is Si-Gung's teacher and generations down the line to the founder(s).
