Okay, okay, cleverclogs.
How about cinba (x1 kisses x2 at locus x3)? When I was in my early
teens, a very important parameter was whether tongues were used (i.e.
whether the kiss was - in suaviational rather than national terms -
french). Come to think of it, it still is an important parameter.
And kissing necessarily involves oral apparatus.
Or does {cinba} cover caresses, as in
the pink just kissed the black
(said by snooker commentators)?
