lapping
la ping
- n covering with a design in which one element covers a part of another (as with tiles or shingles)
- v lie partly over or alongside of something or of one another
- v pass the tongue over
- v move with or cause to move with a whistling or hissing sound
- v take up with the tongue
- v wash or flow against
- That combination gets attention (though you can't underestimate that bowl-lapping thing).
