   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"
