_______________________________________________

(KGT 164):  This verb literally means "slash, slit (with a blade)".  When used in its slang sense, it does not take an object:  {bISIj} ("You are insightful, you have a keen mind"; literally, "You slash").  Nonslang counterparts are {val} (be clever, smart) and {'ong} (be cunning, sly).

SEE:
SIj  		slit,  slash (with a blade) (v)
