As used in canon:
yIntaH qIrq 'e' vIneH. DaSwIj bIngDaq latlhpu' vItap.
Kirk I want alive. The rest I will grind beneath my boot.
(STConst p.232) [sic! typo for {qIrq'e'}?]
gho[p]vam vItap
"to squeeze this hand tight..." (PB 145)
KGT 92: Finally, the way to prepare a common dish called {qompogh} is to mash ({tap}) a mixture of various types of {naH} (fruit, vegetable), with or without some animal matter, into a rather lumpy paste and then to let it {rogh} (ferment).
KCD: *{velqa'}? is "a dessert dish made from the seeds of the pealain (*{pI'len}?) plant. The seeds are fermented, crushed, and jellied."
There are other types of mashing and squeezing:
qeb squeeze (windbag instrument) (v)
rey squeeze and stretch out (windbag instrument) (v)
