Einfall is a German word that literally means "in-fall," explained by Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz thus: "It is something which drops into one's head; it falls in.... It is a beautiful word for something that suddenly pops up in consciousness, comes in a flash from the unconscious." This is an exact translation of Khatra خطرة, while the shortest English approximation would be a "passing thought". In Lebanese we say "Khatar 3a balo" meaning "It dropped on his mind."
