I would say seize or grasp are good replacements for hent.

As for the Island, I have never heard of it, but geography was never my strong suit.

Andrew said...

I knew of neither, but I now do. Hent made me wonder about the word het, such as, all het up.

I hent some man's thigh when I realized how far up I was in the balcony. I apologized and he seemed quite alright with that. True story...I have acropolis and when we went to see Mamma Mia, our seats were way up in the balcony. I had a slight ( hahaha) case of a panic attack before I got the nerve to crawl to my seat.
I knew about James Bond Island! The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed there. It is a big tourist destination, my friend went there

I always learn something new when I come here, Sandra. Thank you so much for sharing!

Adam said...

Apparently, it's Khao Phing Kan, and it's famous because the 007 movie was shot there.

“Don’t you hent on to me” said Giorgia Meloni to Trump as he lurched past her, winking lasciviously. “And, no, I don’t want my picture taken with you.” She scowled and added, “We should exile you to James Bond Island and arrange for a visit from Odd Job.” Ah, sweet dreams!

Hent is new to me!

Sandra Cox said...

It was to me too, Jeanie:)

Sandra said...

Purrfect on seize and grasp, Elizabeth:)
Geography is not my strong suit either. Turns out a James Bond movie was filled there, thus the name.

Sandra Cox said...

Great job, Adam. That's exactly right;)

Sandra Cox said...

Good job on knowing about James Bond Island, Birgit.
Sorry you have to deal with fear of heights. I hear ya, though. Bleacher seats make me dizzy.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Andrew, I've heard that expression. All het up. Have a grand weekend.

Sandra Cox said...

Thank you, Linda. I appreciate hearing that;)

Sandra Cox said...

Denise, So when shall we go:) xo

Sandra Cox said...

David, Great use of hent and James Bond Island:) Hope your weekend is filled with happy bird song, a glass of wine and a good book:)

DMS said...

I have never heard the word hent before (at least not that I recall). Interesting fact about the island.
