Re: Lexicon Building
I think I had a word for that, but I've forgotten it, so I'll make up a new one. I have a rough idea of what it was.
Vanga:
nunu‹›n-; to be circular; to be round and flat; to be a ring
Next word: choir

Gloss: to reach out, has connotation of encounter, rendezvous or meeting (again or for the first time); intent is not necessarily part of it.
Combine with the word for 'sticky' (sumec) and you get the phrasal verb for 'piqué interest/catch their eye' but in a bad way. A 'sticky person' is someone persistent you want to lose, whether a detective or a 'clingy' lover. But it cuts both ways, as a fly which buzzes around, flitting everywhere so indiscreetly, may meet a sticky end. So a 'sticky feel(ing)' is used where English would use 'fishy, unease.' In addition there is the connotation of 'grasping' i.e. a sticky touch, and with it snare/entrapment and the extension of 'trolling' (which also has the simple translation of bait; this word extends into the domains of 'goad', 'taunt', 'rise' and 'obscene' however.) So the meaning extends beyond intent into the realms of desperation and feeling and the opposite, calculation and waiting, but always need and sometimes desire.
A famous poem refers to the half known species of sundew in a devious use of punning which in its English translation is attempted as "a fly's sundewing", but it really might just be too cute. Anyway, this is taken to be said plant's prerogative.
