Notes:
The headword phrase and the gloss both display the aorist active infinitives of their respective verbs.
[1] The verb used in the gloss here has a broader range of meanings than the headword, including the synonymous 'kiss', and that is probably what is intended here. Unfortunately there is no convenient synonym for 'kiss' in English that could be used here to distinguish it from the headword.
