peer agreement (net): +1darling; dearest; dear Explanation: The three words given by the dictionary give the general meaning. The word consists of two parts: hart = heart lam = lamb the expression 'my lam' is sometimes used as an endearment. A well known song has the title - ek loop die pad my lam - ( I travel the way, my lamb [literally]) So 'hartlam' is a beautiful compound word. Bosman et al |
