Could Patifolia also evoke "Batifoler", the French for dallying, flirting?

(PS : Originally (13th century) a "batifol" was a mill used to beat sheets)

To all with foreign dictionaries,

Could we pursue patifolia (Charles's not-for-sleeping bed) as we did versipel? This has been a very fruitful pursuit.
