It might be worthwhile to mention here that this is not a direct
translation. TKW points out that it can more literally be translated
as "A loved one is always smelled." A substantial number of people
have tried to use {bang} to translate the *emotion* of love, and I'd
just like to make sure that nobody gets confused by this example.
[{parmaq} is a close but imperfect translation for the feeling named
"love" in English.]
