Sorry I don't have a picture to go along with this word - but somehow I feel confident that I can trust your imagination.

Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair.

John and Rodney might not know the word, but I wager they know exactly what it means. ;)

I love it how different languages have words that express so much. (and recently mentions of hair just remind me of Blair :D Hmm, I bet he knows the word... *me thinks I saw a plot bunny*)

If there's one word from Finnish I'd love to be able to use, (even if it doesn't necessarily sound so pretty) it's hämärä (http://www.wordsense.eu/h%C3%A4m%C3%A4r%C3%A4/), which can mean anything from dimly lit or twilight to shady and mysterious. I often have trouble describing lighting situations in English :D (though I love the word 'murky' for some reason)
