maj.  It also works for "pry something out of someone's hand".

We already have {'uchHa'} "let go":

   naQ megh'an yI'uchHa'.
   naQ 'er'In yI'uchHa'.
   Let go of the end of the stick. (HQ 12.2)

Hmm... (just playing here):

   pu' yI'uchHa'; ghIq QIt yItlhe'.
   Drop the phaser then turn around slowly.

   be'vetlh yI'uchHa' qaH!
   Unhand that woman, sir!
