This verb literally means "yank" and is used in such sentences as
{jav luHpu' 'avwI'} ("The guard has caused a prisoner to confess--
literally, "The guard has yanked a six"). Standard words expressing
the same notions are {DISmoH} ("cause to confess") and {peghHa'moH}
("cause to not keep a secret"). (KGT 153)
Cf. also the verbs {yu'} "interrogate, question" and {joy'} "torture"
> luH (noun) - intestine
Never used in canon.
Related nouns: {chor} "belly, midsection" and {burgh} "stomach"
