Could be invented, or lace specific. As Adele did, I googled. I searched 'Sukane Slince' which is the title of one of the laces in the Cook/Tratnik book of Idrija Lace. I went to a page offering lace instruction in Slovenia, and tried the google translation, but am none the wiser, except that because the word slince and variations of sukane and other words are in the list of what seems to be techniques offered, my guess is that it is a lace word outside the lexicon of what the computer can translate :)
