Never used in canon.

Cultural notes:

   The verbs {nan} "use the fourth toe" and {nan} "gouge" are probably
   etymologically related, since {nan} is used to refer to a particularly
   effective martial arts kick. (HQ 10.2:11)]

Related verbs:

{Sup} jump

>Homonyms:
>     pup (verb) - be perfect, exact, high resolution

Used in canon:

   QIn pup
   plain spearhead with a single sharp point (KGT 64)

   jabbI'ID pup: Qapchu'meH 'aqroS chuq: cha' vI' chorgh loghqammey

   jabbI'ID pupHa': Qapchu'meH chuq: chorgh vI' chorgh loghqammey
