HQ 10.2: 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.
PUN:
"This little piggy had NONE and cried 'WEE, WEE, WEE' all the way home."
Related vocabulary:
nanwI' chisel (n)
nan gouge (v)
mI' do martial arts movements (v)
pup kick (v)
For review, the other "toe verbs" are:
mar use the big (i.e. first) toe
Hom use the second toe
roS use the third toe
Qay' use the little (i.e. fifth) toe
