English meaning : to beat, hit [Wei]
Comments: A rather late attested word; the earliest attested meaning is 'to beat, hit'. Later meanings are 'to mount (a horse, vehicle)'; 'to build up, hang up'; 'to add, make company' - all probably derived from *'to hit'. In Viet., besides d_áp 'to take (train, plane) etc.', there also exists a word d_ắp 'to embank, bank up; build' - which may have ultimately the same source. A more dubious case is Viet. d_ập 'to beat, thrash' (it should be rather considered as genuine because of tonal discrepancy).
