   Indeed, if one eats too neatly or if one does not eat with
   gusto, it will probably be assumed that one is not enjoying
   the food. (The verb {noS} ["eat in small mouthfuls, nibble"],
   unless applied to small animals or very young children, is
   always used derogatorily.) (KGT 100)

Related verbs include {chop} bite, {ghup} swallow, {je'} feed, {roS} lick, 
{Sop} eat, {yIv} chew, {'ep} "consume soup".

Cf. also {ghung} "be hungry", {natlh} "consume", {mum} "taste, sense 
flavors", and {waH} "taste, try out (food)".
