Thanks for the helpful addition, Anna--

You wrote at the end:

Don't know whether this helps or, on the contrary, further complicates
things. I just feel that this issue with translation is more complex that
anyone can imagine.

Amen to that! Such terms's meanings, in addition to depending on their
use in their homelanguage/culture contexts change when imported into
another language/culture context with its own network of conceptual
relations. An endless source of confusion.
