root word: pigâ
pigaín
squeeze strongly
This is a strong squeeze, such as when you try to squeeze the juice out of a citrus fruit or when you try to squeeze the water out of of sogging-wet clothes. It involves using the whole hand(s). Think of the English-language expression “squeezing it dry.”
The word for a light squeeze is pisil — this involves the use of only two or so fingers, instead of the entire hand.
