Arabic term or phrase: يدغدغ
Hi everyone,

I understand this verb to mean to 'tickle'. But how does it fit with saliva in this sentence? Basically she was drooling for the soil?

شممت رائحة الطين المنعش يدغدغ لعابي لألعق ولو جزءا يسيرا منه ....

This is talking about a pregnant woman's strange cravings.

Thanks!
