Definition of "Englishable"

Only two pages of the Pushkin are given to the lyric, and these to such relatively Englishable items as a ballad ("The Upas Tree") and the "Exegi Monumentum," which has had its hundreds of English predecessors.

The term is gemes, and the vehicle it provides for metaphoring is Englishable as 'pinching a plump baby in affection'.

1989, Alton L. Becker, Writing on the tongue, page 5

But this isn't an askable question. It isn't Englishable.
