As used in canon:

   chIch vay' 'oy'moHmeH 'oy'naQ 'ul law' tlhuD 'oH
   Painstiks ... emit a highly-charged shock for the express
   purpose of inflicting pain. S32

Other verbs of emitting include {lab} "transmit data [away from a place]", 
{lI'} "transmit data [to a place]" and possibly {rI'} "hail".

Possible emissions include {tIH} "ray, energy beam", "HoS} "energy", {woj} 
"radiation" and {De'} "data" (telemetry?).

Cf. also the verb {tlhuch} "exhaust" and the noun {taQbang} "exhaust" for 
emissions of another sort.
