What is the difference between pass on and pass down?
E.g. "Local knowledge is passed on orally or within practice from one generation to the next." or "Local knowledge is passed down orally or within practice from one generation to the next."
Is it possible to use it as an adjective: e.g. passed on knowledge/passed down knowledge. If this is possible, would you write it with hyphen or without (passed on or passed-on)
