Never used in canon.
Related verbs:
"To finger the {may'ron}--that is, to push the buttons--is to {Heng}" (KGT 76)
"The verb {bI'} ('sweep') refers to the action of pushing something out of
the way by using an implement or the forearm as if it were a broom." (KGT 113)
"During the course of a bout, both parties ... alternately lunge ({jop}),
that is, push the bat'leth toward the opponent, and deflect ({way'}), or
use the bat'leth to push the oncoming one away." (KGT 115)
Cf. also {vo'} propel; {ghoS} thrust.
Antonyms: {luH} yank
Note {yuvtlhe'} "lid, cover, cap" (n.):
The word for "top" is {yor} ... It is not the word used for "lid" or "cover"
or "cap" (as in "lid of a jar") or removable (and reusable) top of a box.
The word for this kind of "top" or "lid" or "cover" is {yuvtlhe'}. (IMO,
HQ 8.3)
PUN: name based on the instructions on child-proof medicine bottles: To
remove, push ({yuv}) while turning ({tlhe'}).
