Mammilapanatapai

i love the word "mammilapanatapai"... it's from the Agan language which is now a dead language but it was spoken in the southern most part of south america. i've never heard the word spoken, but the meaning is very beautiful. it means that moment of feeling when two people want to initiate something but neither wants to be the one to start it. it can be, perhaps two tribal leaders wanting to make peace but neither wanting to be the one to begin it. or it could be two people in a party wanting to approach each other but neither quite brave enough to make the first move...
