I just didn't think I was saying anything so remarkable. The first
definition of "look" I find in
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/look is:
"to turn one's eyes toward something or in some direction in order to see"

If you think the relationship between "catlu" and "viska" is other
than the relation between "look" and "see", or if you can find a more
precise way to express that relation than with "troci", please do.

In any case, your original question was about how to distinguish
"catlu" from "zgana", and the important part of my reply was that
zgana is to ganse as catlu is to viska.
