    DefinitionShort: the flash of lightning
    Glosses: lightning
    Comments: Terms referring to thunder and lightning often have important taboo connotations. The specific terms for thunder and lightning may be avoided and figurative expressions employed in their place in order to avoid danger which might occur from being struck by lightning or frightened by a thunderstorm. One can, therefore, expect in some languages a number of different terms, and it is important to avoid expressions which might have wrong connotations.
