Hi, Steve, besides, your cited latin words are from Ovid, a poet of the ancient Rome, who wrote the famous Ars Amatoria. He knew a lot about kissing:
In a poem for his girlfriend Lesbia he wrote:
"Da me basia mille, deinde centum, dein mill'altera, dein secunda centum, dein, cum milia multa fecerimus, conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus, aut ne quis malus invidere possit, cum tantum sciat esse basiorum."
I hope, I cited it correctly, it is more then 40 years ago............
