is the word used in the discussion on LINGUIST awhile back. I think
you could find it if you searched the archives at
http://linguistlist.org (I'd recommend the web format, rather than
text). There are other interesting things there, of course. Some
example words from that discussion were Hebrew _BeReK_ 'to bless'
which is usually interpreted as 'to curse' in Job 1; English
_oversight_, _borrow_ (for borrow and lend), and _bad_ ('bad' and,
colloquially, 'good').
