In some languages, however, a distinction is made between kissing on the cheek and kissing on the lips. Additional distinctions may be made as to whether one is kissing a person of the same sex or of a different sex.'}

         DefinitionShort: to kiss, either as an expression of greeting or as a sign of special affection and appreciation{N:001}

         Glosses: to kiss

         Comments: Since in so many societies kissing is not a form of greeting, it may be necessary to add some kind of classifier to contexts such as {S:04002604800022} and {S:04002604900020} in order to indicate clearly the intention involved; otherwise, the use of a term meaning merely ‘to kiss’ might suggest a kind of erotic display. The clause in {S:04002604900020} may be translated as ‘the man I greet by kissing is the one you want.’
