Persian (Farsi) term

نوازشگر

Persian (Farsi) to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature ِDictionary Definitions
Greetings,

This is a word not in my dictionary, and I'm really looking for the most usual meaning so I can add it to my dictionary, please.

For this reason I should like to refer you to a general search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&xhr=t&q=نوازشگر&cp=7&pq=ن...

نوازش = caress – does نوازشگر involve a literal, physical caress or can it carry the figurative idea of ‘soothing’ etc.?

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
