Another gismu question.

xebni hate
x1 hates/despises x2 (object/abstraction)

I am puzzled to see "hate" and "despise" in one line. To me, these are
quite distinct emotions.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, "hate" is "extreme dislike"
(=mutce se rigni), whereas "despise" is defined as "feel contempt for,
consider worthless" and has more to do with the rank evaluation
({ga'i} scale?), looking down, disregard, disrespect {tolsinma}.

Do I miss something?
