Never used in canon.

Antonym: {tungHa'} "encourage"

   ... the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of
   something that music does to the listener rather than
   in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is
   said to embolden (jaqmoH), excite (SeymoH), encourage
   (tungHa'), or to stimulate or inspire (pIlmoH). [KGT 71]

Cf. also the expression {vIHtaH gho} "The hoop is moving":

   This expression means that an activity of finite (though
   perhaps indeterminate) length has started. It is used to
   encourage somebody to make a decision or to perform a
   process more quickly. [KGT 111]
