Used of those accosting anyone; of those who visit one to see him a
little while, departing almost immediately afterwards; to pay
respects to a distinguished person by visiting him; of those who
greet one whom they meet in the way (even not in the East, Christians
and Mohammedans do not greet one another); a salutation was made not
merely by a slight gesture and a few words, but generally by
embracing and kissing, a journey was retarded frequently by saluting.
