   Do not do that! (pet command) PK

   SSS... mev! ba'!

   mamevQo'.  maSuvtaH.  ma'ov.
   Battling on through the Eternal fight. (Anthem)

Related verbs:

KGT 154:  {mevmoH} ("cause [someone] to stop"--(compare {mev}, "[someone] 
stops)"

{mevyap} "Stop, [it is] enough!" KGT 113:  No doubt in the past, the 
locution was longer, perhaps {yImev, yap!} ("Stop! It is enough!") 
Actually, {yImev!} ("Stop!") is the imperative form if the command is given 
to an individual; to tell a group to stop, one would say {pemev!".

Cf. also {bup} "quit", {baq} "terminate, discontinue" and {yev} "pause, 
take a break".
