猎户 lièhù @ 《现代汉语词典》
«名»❶ 以打猎为业的人家。❷ 猎人。

獵戶 @ WIktionary
---------------------

Editor: The household sense does appear in dictionaries, but it seems marginal in actual usage.

Lin Yutang just says
獵戶 lieh-huh, n., hunter.

TP examples refer to "hunter", e.g.
武松筋疲力盡的拖著沉重腳步,一步步捱下崗,突然枯草中又出兩隻老虎,武松大叫:「啊呀!我今番死也!」那兩隻虎竟直立起來,原來是兩個奉命在此守候捕虎的獵戶

Also, 獵戶座 = Orion (literally "Hunter Constellation"), not "Household of Hunters".

I'd encourage basing submissions primarily on usage rather than solely on dictionary citations. Please feel free to re-submit if you have clear evidence supporting the household sense.
Diff:
- 獵戶 猎户 [[lie4hu4]] /hunter/
# + 獵戶 猎户 [[lie4hu4]] /household of hunters/hunter/
 
+ 獵戶 猎户 [[lie4hu4]] /hunter/
