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!
