Notes:
This assemblage of disparate meanings is not always explicable. The headword is the plural of a concrete neuter noun in -ma, from the verb for tonguing or talking down (kappa 503), or using too many rare words. It should therefore be used for concrete things such as plasters put in place by licking an adhesive.
For the type of kiss see kappa 912, where the perfect middle or passive of the related verb is used for the 'tongued-down' kiss and for other meanings. The adjective translated 'energetic' also means 'intricate, active'.
