Dear Nabokovians:

I remember there being a remark, either in The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
or in criticism about the novel, regarding the Prismatic Bezel - the term
bezel is both a word for a kind of cut as well as for the tool used to make
that cut (I believe).  I remember there being, perhaps, some sort of word
(or more elegant way) to describe this linguistic feat.

Can anyone help me out?  A friend is working on a paper on bibliography, and
the way he is using the term reminds me of the Nabokov cite.

Thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer.

Marianne
