rely



Here's an interesting one. lacri means x1 relies on x2.  How do you turn
this around to form "reliable"?  You COULD say that se lacri means that
x2 is POTENTIALLY reliable, but that is not how we typically use the
word.  I have thought of (se) snadylacri, but to successfully-rely on
something might merely mean that you overcame your doubts/better
judgement.

Also, what, if any is the overlap between "relies" and "expects"?  How
to we express x1 expects x2 (event)?
