Welcome
Good choice. dote upon would be good as well.
Fondle = 1593 (implied in fondly), "treat with indulgence and affection," freq. of fond "dote upon" (see fond). Sense of "caress" first recorded 1796.
To bad that a word can be tarnished, seems that fondle has been going downhill since the sense of "caress" was first recorded 1796. Your choice of cuddle carries less baggage. welcome could you add some interests, country age, ect. to your info page? can't tell Mr or Mrs, etc. Rab RakhaAllenwalla 06:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Sat Shri Akal, Raidcmdr are you reading 五輪書. Musashi is great, putting ones self in the others shoes. I used to study Iaido, loved practicing the forms. Still have my wakazashi, bokken, ect. My room mate 20 years ago was a master in Iaido and had many swords, but Aikido was his favorite. Last time we talked he had been in Japan with the big kahuna who picked him as his throwee, but the master took out his brush and gave him a very nice poem (shodo) of which he is particularly fond, given the man is a national treasure very hatomoto.
Saw your name this morning on recent changes, haven't seen you in a year or so, so I went to the talk page to see what you were up to.
Your post leaves me in puzzlement, Mutia praises you one moment and then reverses it in the next sentence, which as you said got you a little steamed. Sorry, I can't read the Panjabi or Gurmukhi.
The first translator in Japanese got ship wrecked on some foreign shore and came back to Japan with the Americans who only wanted to do some trading. If I remember correctly the Japanese killed him, thinking that their language was from the Gods and the Emperor was the son of the Sun. They figured on keeping anyone from ever learning to speak Japanese, sometimes here when people put in Gurmukhi without a translation I know how those first Gai-jin felt in Japan. Like the other looking from outside the window. The SGGS is after all in several languages, and if Guru Arjan and Guru Nanak Dev had spoken english that would be in their too.
However like Mutia your response leaves me a little confused as it seems your on both sides of the fence. Studying other languages and then talking about people wearing his Bana, struting around and being laughed at.
What little I know of Gurbani tells me that two words don't take 20 words in English to say. I see that Gurmukhi makes a deeper meaning available, I just can't understand what you are arguing for or against. Is it one world one God or keep the GGS a private club.
Anyway its good to see you contributing again. Raab Rakha Allenwalla 12:42, 22 February 2010 (UTC) and you're correct some language might get one kicked off.
