The moment he was looking forward to the most was the apodyopsis that they seemed to share when they together; the longing, lustful look of pure, relentless desire. She bites her lip from the corner, he stares longingly into her eyes, and a quick cafuné with a slight affectionate trace along the ear...and it happens; souls connect and what follows is nothing but pure ecstasy on the highest level.

According to your definitions, apodyopsis and cafuné are both verbs. Yet you used the first like a noun. I'm confused.

I believe it can also be used as a verbal noun; it's kind of a complex word to try to use eloquently, and I apologize for the confusion. I am learning to use these words as well as others

well, the definition is "the act of . . ." which means it would have to be a noun (as every other act of) and the word ends in "-opsis" which would mean it is a noun like every other "-opsis" word. I believe whatever site did the definition got the grammar particle wrong.

your usage of Cafuné would make that a noun as well btw.
