It is not *me* who understands it in any way.  The words together with
their definition are taken without modification from the WordNet data
base.  They are picked at random by the program that generates the
mail.

Actually, I noticed this, too but only when reading the mail this
morning on Conlang, and I fully agree with you.  I slept when they
were selected. :-)

If you feel like making up vocab from it, use any or both senses, or
whatever you feel is right, or even something completely
different. :-)
