Cafunéka-foo-neh

n. The act of tenderly running your fingers through the hair of somebody you love. It's perhaps not surprising that in a country filled with people so perfectly in tune with their emotions and sensuality, there's a word for this quintessential lover's act. We can definitely learn to love people simply for the scent of their shampoo, and there is something reassuring about a trusted hand entwined in your tresses.
