English term
"soked"
English to German
Art/Literary
Folklore
people are warm and real. soked in profuse rainbows
this is from a very poetic text describing the virtues of India - I just dont get the meaning of "soked" - is it maybe a typo for "soaked"?

Comment: "thanks for support of typo interpretation - I would prefer "getaucht" out of the three, though had chosen another structure, but than I got a corrected text to translate without the word :-("
