baq

terminate, discontinue

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

bɑqʰ

Sound out baq letter by letter:

• bbb as in 'bay'
• aɑa as in 'father'
• qqʰk far back in the throat, aspirated

• A duel ends, normally, with death. It is often the case, however, that one of the combatants will have been outmaneuvered and will find himself in a position from which he clearly cannot recover. Should this occur, he will probably shout out baq, a clipped form of yIbaq (Terminate it!). It is not normal in this context for him to shout out something like HIHoH (Kill me!), even though this is what he means. [KGT p.69]
