Never used in canon.

I'm still not entirely sure what this verb means.  Does it mean to "move 
side-to-side" or "move horizontally" or what?  Note that we also have the 
verbs {Don} "be parallel, go parallel to" and {SaS} "be horizontal".

A similar verb related to the bat'leth is {DIj}:

   To slide the blade of one's bat'leth along the blade of the
   opponent's weapon is {DIj}.  [KGT 59]

The related noun is {Dop} "side".
