(fr) concentrer
to concentrate, to focus

And księżycowy, before you tell me focail means "words" and has nothing to do with focus, unfortunately all you gave me to work with was the word and not the meaning (even though I promptly looked up the meaning). :evil:

Do you like it? :P I was wondering if anyone would get it. I think I've mentioned this before (on this thread), but sometimes I go for an association with the sound of the word rather than the meaning.

In all honesty, that's why I was beginning to post in just the non-English language. There are so many different ways to make connections beyond the translation. But it seems most people like to go off the translation. Oh well.
