[See the explanation for breakfast.]
Dinner has two forms.  A compound form, and an initialized form.

DINNER:  [EAT+NIGHT]



DINNER: [initialized]
This form can either use a small rotational movement (like slurping soup from a bowl close to your mouth), or a "stuffing your mouth with food" movement that taps the lips with the fingertips of the thumb, middle, ring, and pinkie fingers.
