DEW
The moon is supposed to set dew on the grass, on the trees, on the flowers, on the bushes. In an obscure time, dew had been called the honey of the moon. From which comes the expression "honeymoon" to designate the dew.

FALL
If it is a question of falling, better to do it into the arms of one's companion lover, forward or backward, with eyes open or closed. If this is not possible, one would do best to fall upon piles of leaves, sand, hay, snow.

FOG
A kind of white, transparent mist that forms at eye level when the companion lovers are in a state of love. A thick halo may likewise appear all around their bodies. The bearers of fables say that the ancient amazons called this their camouflage cloud when they were in a state of love outside in the forest or on beaches. From which comes the expression "to be in a fog."

HOOP
Circle made of wood or light metal rolled by tapping and grazing it with a stick. Some use it as a code when they do not dare to speak openly of their desire and for whom. They then go hooping back and forth in front of the habitation of their friend. The most shy, for whom to pass with a hoop by day is still too open an avowal, use a hoop with bells, called a ringing hoop. Much care is taken to choose the bells for one's hoop. Everyone has her particular timbre and her ways of producing it. Each one hopes that the desired person will be able to tell whose hoop it is that passes at night, recognising it by its music.

OBLIVION
(to fall into), if you do not want to fall there by yourself you will be pushed

POWER
When the little companion lovers begin to shine and emit colours, they become powers. Mei Savajo, a companion lover from Gaul, has established distinctions between various sorts of energy according to the power to which it may be related. In her book, she says that her preference is for the "warm" powers from the south in contrast to the formidable powers from the north.

SHADOWS
In the Glorious Age the companion lovers treat their shadows like living persons. This permits them to face the daily dissociation that everyone experiences and that language records, "I said to myself," "I see myself in the mirror." It is rare that someone develops a bad relationship with her shadow. Some companion lovers display a great affection for their shadows, and therefore give them names. Shadows are particularly vibrant on days of a full moon. Companion lovers have been seen embracing their shadows and manifesting the greatest contentment.

For quite some time I had been talking to her in her mother tongue, which I found all the more moving since I knew very few words of it. As for her, she never actually spoke it, at least not with me, and yet if I began to falter, to string together awkward expressions, to form impossible idioms, she would listen to them with a kind of gaiety, and youth, and in turn would answer me in French, but in a different French from her own, more childish and more talkative, as though her speech had become irresponsible, like mine, using an unknown language. And it is true that I too felt irresponsible in this other language, so unfamiliar to me; and this unreal stammering, of expressions that were more or less invented, and whose meanings flitted past, far away from my mind, drew from me things I would never have said, or thought, or even left unsaid in real words: it tempted me to let them be heard, and imparted to me, as I expressed them, a slight drunkenness which was no longer aware of its limits and boldly went farther than it should have. So I made the most friendly declarations to her in this language, which was a habit quite alien to me. I offered to marry her at least twice, which proved how fictitious my words were, since I had an aversion to marriage (and little respect for it), but in her language I married her, and I not only used that language lightly but, more or less inventing it, and with the ingenuity and truth of half-awareness, I expressed in it unknown feelings which shamelessly welled up in the form of that language and fooled even me, as they could have fooled her.
