De'vID:
: The following might work in a given context:
:
: pe'vIl qIp = bash
qIpchu' = beat up? (hit perfectly/properly)
: qIpqu' = bash
tIqIpqu' 'ej nom tIqIp
Hit them hard and hit them fast. TKW
: loQ qIp = hit lightly, tap
You can also add {neH} "merely, just":
loQ qama' vIqIppu' neH.
I merely tapped the prisoner.
Also try:
qIptaH = thrash? (hit continuously)
