I suppose Intercept could be made up from "seek for/locate" {Sam} and
"stop/cease" {mev}.
If I had to pick a single word, nearest to befitting the title/action or
intended meaning, I think that "to cause to stop" or "to cause to cease"
something got near to intercept.
What about He/she who causes it/they to stop {mevmoHwI'} . Is that
possible?
Following the canon examples below it would appear possible.
Do two examples provide enough guidance? Especially as one is slang.
{chenmoHwI’} creator, maker (n)
{bochmoHwI’} sycophant, flatterer (n) (slang)
