Today's word 'clinquant' gets me to words that can be used in both active and a passive ways. In the details on the word 'clinquant' the dutch word 'klinken'turns up.I gave it a second look as this is a native laguage word.
Klinken is used passively in: Deze klinken goed. = These sound well, or good. But it is also used actively: used as: toasting a drink. "Zullen we hier op klinken?" = "Shall we have a toast on this?", hitting glasses against eachother. (If you do this too hard you'll end up with little clinqants).

I try to think of english words that can be used both passive- and actively, but I can't find any. Are there?
