Hi Peter,

Don't think this will fly. Looked up DRASSOMAI in all the lexicons
(Cunliffe, LSJ, Danker, L&N, LEH, Lampe). When it is used in reference to
persons it typically has negative and sometimes violent overtones (e.g.,
grab by the throat). When used in reference to objects it means to clutch or
grasp.

Why would an LXX translator need "a euphemism for kiss" anyway? Queen
Victoria would not have needed a euphemism for kiss.

cheers, Clay
