Ooo! Ooo! I can help you get this rumor started! That same word also means "to get up suddenly", "to trigger a trap", "to show up suddenly or unexpectedly", "to decend from", "to begin to grow", "to surprise", "to suddenly begin leaking", "youthful vigor". See it's already got at least 6 or 700 meanings. It's better than Eskimo snow! Adam
