1. “"Defendant claims that the word `lewd' is generally coupled with other terms to give it meaning. This is so in ORS 167.227, for the word is coupled with `fondles and manipulates the private parts' of the child victim. Any person not married to the victim, other than parents or medical persons discharging their duties, who fondles or manipulates the private parts of a child of tender years is doing something which any mature person of common understanding knows is vile, lustful and indecent. This fulfills the Webster's New International Dictionary (3d ed 1969) definition of what is lewd * * *." (Emphasis supplied.) 5 Or. App. at 514-515 , 484 P.2d at 863 .”
