Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

Suggest 'phah' (撲) meaning 'to catch/grab'. It's a more passive action, better reflecting the 'catch' behavior of intercepting an exception. It also avoids collapsing with 'except' and 'rescue'.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'jiànn' (捍) means 'to defend/intercept', it's not the most natural fit for 'catch' in the context of exceptions. It feels too active a defense.
  • consistency Collapses with 'except' and 'rescue', which is problematic.
