We better hurry up and give it a definition before we make it happen.

*********

For y’all’s consideration:

All the copy/paste from wiktionary.

Ob = Preposition
ob (+ accusative)

in the direction of, to, towards
on account of, according to, because of, due to, for (the purpose of)
against; facing

and, a copulative particle affixed to the word it annexes
29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid I.1:
Arma virumque cano.
I sing of arms and the man...

Catalan
Verb
rient

present participle of riure

Noun
riure m (plural riures)

laugh
Verb
riure (first-person singular present ric, past participle rigut)

to laugh

So....

,obquerient = to face (point at) and laugh.
