English doesn't have ANY one-word verb for being silent. German has
schweigen, French has reflexive se taire, but this in particular is a) as
opposed to, and b) to speech. What Slovene (and maybe other Slavic
languages I don't know) does is change prefixes to the root -molk (which
has a great pool-like hush in it to my ear, especially with their "dark
l"), depending on its being transitory or not, and its temporal and other
relations to sound.
And I haven't collaborated with Ikue; Abigail Child did a great
video/music improv with her.
