* IncestSubtext: The Shulamite wishes that in Song 8:1-2 that her Beloved was like her twin brother, that she could kiss and no one would look down on her for that.[[note]]Depending on which edition you read, there may be a footnote saying (paraphrased): 'It was socially more acceptable to kiss family members over someone you weren't married/engaged to.' Meaning she wanted to kiss him a lot, but knew tongues would wag and wanted a way to head them off.[[/note]]
