AtD translation: twinkle

[Mike Jing]

According to the OED:

twinkle v.
1.a. *intransitive*. To shine with rapidly intermittent light; to emit
tremulous radiance; to sparkle; to glitter; †to shine dimly, to glimmer; to
flicker (*obsolete*).
2.a. *intransitive*. To close and open the eye or eyes quickly (voluntarily
or involuntarily); to make a signal by this means; to wink, blink; also
said of the eye or eyes. *Obsolete* or *archaic*.

twinkle n.
1.a. A winking of the eye; a wink, blink; also, a momentary glance (in
quot. 1593, of the mind); cf. blink n.2 2 ? *Obsolete*.
3.a. An intermittent or transient shining; a sparkle, a scintillation;
also, a faint or momentary gleam; a glimmer.

So basically "sparkle" or "wink", with "wink" possibly considered obsolete.

P34.29-30   “Well, ring-tailed rutabagas.” Vibe’s eyes with a contemptuous
twinkle which colleagues had learned meant he had what he wanted.

P139.29-30   “Ah,” twinkled Dr. Vormance, “and you can see right down
through the snow at the base of it, I suppose.”

P306.34   “Appreciate that,” Merle twinkled back, “so I’ll let you in on
something.

P455.24-26   Merle, recognizing the name of a popular brand of blasting
agent, twinkled back discreetly. “Powerful fella. Twelve Labors instead of
twelve Apostles, ‘s I recall. . . .”

P596.1-3   “Dang, Yash, you sure read my mind there,” with what he hoped
was enough of a twinkle that she wouldn’t take offense, for her unannounced
ferocities, however playful, continued to cause him some dismay.

P604.1-2   IN HILBERT’S CLASS one day, she raised her hand. He twinkled at
her to go ahead. “Herr Geheimrat—”

P604.14   The twinkle, as some reported later, modulated to a steady
pulsation.

P682.32-34   The Professor-Doktor put in his monocle and had a squint at
Lew, which rapidly became a sort of confidential twinkle. “You and Max
actually looked after the Crown Prince at one time?”

P729.4-5   After a warning look sideways at Kit, “Just some little
pennsilvoney,” Reef insincerely twinkled, “forget just what part of town.”

Does any of the above instances of "twinkle" refer to a wink? Or are they
all "sparkle" or "said with a sparkle in one's eyes"?
