<luH> is the verb for yank. <tIq> is a verb for "be long" so could <tIqmoH> mean
"cause to be long" as in stretch?
I am having a hard time coming up with proper words for my exercise commands. In
particular for the rowing movement. It is a pull, but it is not a yank. It is a
slow, wide, even, deliberate pull. (dynamic tension) <qeb> is a verb for squeeze (a
windbag instrument) which works for the opposite movement in the chest crush. (I
like to say "Crush the world!" as it's a BIG, slow, round movement) would <qebHa'>
work for this? Pillow
