I'm not sure gletu and cinse are two aspects of the same idea. gletu
is a relationship between two people (or two animals). Perhaps being
cinse is necessary for them to gletu (is asexual copulation
possible?), but someone can be cinse and never gletu. cinse is much
more general than gletu. One can be cinse in the way one moves, talks,
dresses, etc, it's not just about copulating.
