gleiten

Means to slip in quietly, sneak in, or quickly put something on. In the movement sense, it suggests a discreet, almost unnoticed gliding.

Means to slide along a surface, often unintentionally or because of losing grip. It is usually more concrete and physical than neutral 'gleiten'.

Means to dart or scurry by quickly and silently. It emphasizes brief, light, and unnoticed movement.

Means to fall downward, not to slide. It is not a true synonym here, but rather a stronger or opposite kind of uncontrolled movement.

Means to slip away, glide out of control, or escape notice. It is often used figuratively for something leaving control or memory.

Means to sneak or creep along slowly, quietly, and carefully. Unlike 'gleiten', it emphasizes secrecy and intent.

Means to flow and usually refers to liquids or things moving like a liquid. The sense of 'sliding' is only very metaphorical here.

Means to brush past, graze, or skim along something. It emphasizes a light contact while moving.

Means to glide away or slide off. It often expresses gradual movement away from a point or support.
