One equivalent of the English verb 'to lean' is the Latin verb inclinare, which means 'to bend, incline'; or 'to incline, take a turn, verge'. Another equivalent is the verb inniti, which means 'to lean or rest upon, support oneself by'. And yet another is the verb propendere, which means 'to hang down'; or 'to be favorable towards or inclined to'.
