  Comments:
This expression using a very figurative sense of 紡ぐ which is not in GG5 or my other JEs. While it is in our 紡ぐ entry, I wouldn't be sure how to use it, and I wouldn't think of 言葉を紡ぐ as being probably the most common form using it.
I think it's worth having as an entry.

Not just speaking. This usage is covered in the 紡ぐ entry. Do we need a separate entry for this particular expression?
