Never used in canon:
Related verbs:
{pe'} cut; {SIj} slit; {poDmoH} clip; {DuQ} stab
Related nouns:
{jIb} hair (on head); {loch} mustache; {rol} beard
Can {chIp} be used to trim things other than hair - e.g. prune plants,
remove the insulation from wires, etc. - or is that closer to {poDmoH} and
{pe'}? Cf. {pe'meH taj} "cutting knife" (KGT).
