Notes
The defining feature is opposing pressure from two external objects or surfaces. The patient may be held temporarily, immobilized, injured, or damaged, but crushing is not required.
Unlike korot, which uses the thumb and another finger, ipit does not identify the body part or instrument producing the pressure. Typical compressing surfaces include a door and its jamb, boards, stones, machine parts, clamps, or similar objects.

Notes
This sense differs from Sense 1 principally in its result. In Sense 1, the patient is caught or trapped; in this sense, the pressure is strong enough to deform, crush, or damage it.

Notes
This is a figurative extension of physical entrapment between opposing surfaces. Retain it as a separate sense only when confirmed as conventional Boie’nen usage rather than a direct translation from English or Filipino.

Morphology
Root: ipit.
The root expresses opposing pressure or containment between two sides. Derived forms should receive separate linked entries when they are lexicalized or independently searchable.
Possible family members:
- sipit — an opposed-jaw gripping implement; to grip using such an implement
- pangipit — clamp or instrument used for holding by compression
- pi-et — tightly fitted or confined in insufficient space
- ayakpit — too short, narrow, or barely sufficient in fit
The historical or morphological relationship of all these forms should not be presented as settled unless supported by speaker evidence and morphological analysis.
Notes
Core contrast
- ipit — the patient is caught or compressed between two opposing objects or surfaces.
- korot — the patient is pinched directly between the thumb and another finger.
- re-et — two things are deliberately pressed firmly into close contact.
- sipit — an implement with opposed jaws grips the patient.
- pi-et — describes the resulting condition of being tightly fitted or spatially confined.
- ayakpit — describes insufficient length, width, or allowance for a proper fit.
The conceptual progression may be represented as:
opposing pressure → entrapment or compression → tight containment → restricted fit
This is a semantic map, not necessarily a demonstrated historical derivation.
