Notes
Imat:: to exercise caution or vigilance, particularly in anticipation of unforeseen hazards, threats, or attacks.
Salikmat:: to catch a glimpse of something or someone, often unexpectedly or from the corner of one's eye. Comment: both terms relate to perception and awareness, but "imat" focuses on proactive caution, while "salikmat" emphasizes sudden noticing or awareness.
