(KGT 113: in re {mevyap}:  No doubt in the past, the locution was longer, perhaps {yImev, yap!} ("Stop! It is enough!")  Actually, {yImev!} ("Stop!") is the imperative form if the command is given to an individual; to tell a group to stop, one would say {pemev!}" 

(KGT 154):  {mevmoH} "cause [someone] to stop" -- (compare {mev}, "[someone] stops")
