<< review queue entry 65622 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I don't think it can be used as a stative verb ("intertwined; interconnected"). ABC has “get mixed up; connected; involved; related”, which they copied straight out of Far East, but I don't see evidence of that sort of usage in other dicts or in TP or J examples. In the usage I've seen, it's always a noun. e.g. J ~ The government are trying to play down their involvement in the affair. 政府极力淡化与该事的瓜葛. TP ~ 只想和貓有些瓜葛。 in an effort to bring herself closer to cats. 即使是一群無血緣關係、沒有經濟瓜葛的朋友， even a group of friends who share no blood relationship or economic ties |
