From context, I'd say it's a specialized use of the verb {nan} "use the fourth toe":
HQ 10.2:11: 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.

It was also used in the opera {'u'}. ghunchu'wI' reported on 8/21/2011:
nuHmey yIrmeH SuvwI', bIH tay'moH. wa' pa'vo' Daqtagh
qeng 'ej raSDaq roQ. latlh pa'vo' ma'veq qeng 'ej raSDaq
rap roQ. Daqmey Sarvo' luch woH. raSDaq yoD roQ. raSDaq
mIv roQ. DaH raSDaq nuHmey luch je yIrta' SuvwI'. <boS>
rur, 'ach Dochmey ghajtaHmo' yIrwI' bIH SuqnISbe'. <lIq>
rur, 'ach yInnISbe' Dochmey tay'moHbogh yIrwI'.
[...]
This was used in a command for a warrior to gather his
armor and weapons before a battle. Before seeing this word,
I might have used {boS} "collect" to refer to packing for
a trip. Now, {yIr} seems a better choice.
