I think the difference is that "tricking into" implies success, while
"pretending" does not. If he tricks you into believeing something,
then you believe it (otherwise he didn't actually trick you into it).
If he pretends to do something, you may be able to see through his
pretense, and so he did not trick you into believeing it. Maybe if you
add a "troci".

Is the x1 of kritcica meant to be a person or an event? The symbols
suggest an event, but the English gloss suggests a person.
