#### Verb

假寐
* to pretend to sleep
    From: 1740 CE, Pu Songling, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio
    Shǎoshí, yī láng jìng qù; qí yī quǎn zuò yú qián, jiǔzhī, mù sì míng […] nǎi wù qián láng jiǎmèi, gài yǐ yòudí. [Pinyin]
    After a while, one wolf left and the other lay on its stomach like a dog. A while later, the wolf seemed to have shut its eyes [...] Only then did it dawn on him that the wolf in front of him was only pretending to sleep so as to trap him.
