Translation

flame

Examples

.

The flame trembled in the wind.

.

Great flames rose from the house.

.

Her eyes shone like a flame.

.

He looked at the flames of the fire for a long time.

.

In his heart burned the flame of hope.

Keep and apart: the fire is the whole burning event, the flame is the visible tongue of it. A fire can have many . The verb flami means to blaze, i to burst into flame with the - prefix marking the sudden start, and i to set something alight. The metaphorical use is old and entirely at home in the language, so a flame of hope or of anger raises no eyebrows, and i works just as well of a temper as of dry wood.
